Sunday shows roundup: Boris on Brexit

Boris Johnson – I feel ‘deep sense of personal responsibility’ for Brexit

Perhaps the star guest of the day was the former Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson who joined Andrew Marr ahead of what looks to be another difficult week for the government. Having resigned his position after the Chequers summit in July, Johnson has since been a leading voice of opposition to Theresa May’s Brexit plan, and has argued that not reaching a deal with the EU would be a preferable outcome to what is currently on offer. Marr asked him about the possible impact of ‘no deal’, a scenario which has become ever more likely by the day:

AM: If in the circumstances of no deal lots of people up and down the country lose their jobs… will you take personal responsibility?

BJ: Of course I will. And do not underestimate the deep sense of personal responsibility I feel for Brexit, and for everything that has happened.
