LONDON: Former British prime minister David Cameron said Friday he had no regrets about launching the Brexit referendum but accused current PM Boris Johnson of behaving"appallingly" during the pre-vote campaigning.
The former premier said a no-deal Brexit would be a bad outcome and that he would have backed the withdrawal agreement rejected by MPs.Cameron told The Times that a referendum on Britain's relationship with the EU had long been promised by politicians and the bitter divisions between Leavers and Remainers now gripping Britain were there long before the seismic vote.
"Every single day I think about it, the referendum and the fact that we lost and the consequences and the things that could have been done differently, and I worry desperately about what is going to happen next," said Cameron.Cameron said Johnson had been torn over whether to back Leave or Remain but was tempted by the chance to lead the Leave camp - and was stunned to end up winning.
"I've spoken to the prime minister a little bit, mainly through texts, but Michael was a very good friend. So that has been more difficult," he said.
