'Neither Remainers nor Leavers want this'
The government should give the public a chance to say whether they want to proceed with Brexit, now a deal has been secured with the European Union, the former UK transport minister Jo Johnson has said.
鈥淣ow that we know what the concrete reality of a negotiated Brexit is, we go back to the people and say: 鈥榊ou wanted Brexit, this is the negotiated Brexit which the prime minster has delivered, it is the only Brexit that is negotiable, that is on the table, now over to you. If you want it this is it, if you don鈥檛 want it there is an opportunity to reconsider that decision',鈥� he said.
It would be a 鈥渢ravesty of democracy to ignore the public,鈥� said Mr Johnson, adding that 鈥淣either Remainers nor Leavers want this Brexit and that鈥檚 because it is the worst of all worlds.鈥�
