LONDON: Former British prime minister David Cameron launched a blistering attack on the UK's current leader Boris Johnson in extracts of his memoirs published on Sunday , accusing him of only backing Brexit to further his own career.
He wrote that Johnson and one of his top ministers Michael Gove - a former close friend of Cameron's -"became ambassadors for the expert-trashing, truth-twisting age of populism" during the campaign. But he went ahead, and"risked an outcome he didn't believe in because it would help his political career".
During the campaign, he said Johnson and Gove"behaved appallingly, attacking their own government, turning a blind eye to their side's unpleasant actions and becoming ambassadors for the expert-trashing, truth-twisting age of populism". He said Gove became a"foam-flecked Faragist warning that the entire Turkish population was about to come to Britain", a reference to eurosceptic politician Nigel Farage.
His immediate successor as premier, Theresa May, negotiated exit terms with Brussels last year, but parliament rejected these three times, forcing her to quit.
