LONDON - Former prime minister David Cameron, who quit after calling Britain's EU membership referendum in 2016 - said Boris Johnson had told him he was sure Brexit would be"crushed like a toad".
He told ITV in an interview aired Monday that Johnson, now prime minister, never truly believed in the Brexit cause. "The minutes before he goes out to explain why he's going to be on the side of Brexit, he sent me a text saying 'Brexit will be crushed like a toad under the harrow'."Johnson turned into a figurehead of the Brexit battle after finally deciding which side he wanted to support.
He now promises to take Britain out on October 31 even if he fails to strike a new negotiated agreement with Brussels."He'd never argued for it before and so why argue for it when there's a better deal on offer?" Cameron asked.
