He added: “We’ve been talking about the progress we’re wishing to make, our discussions on Brexit, that probably the best thing there would be if we got on and did it in the short time that we have.Mr Varadkar said he did not want to get involved in internal UK politics, but he did say he was not joining in the snap calls for Mr Johnson to resign.
