.BorisJohnson explains why he missed today's press conference with Xavier_Bettel in Luxembourg. In a private interview, Johnson said he was hopeful that a deal could be struck before the Brexit deadline. Read skynewsmichelle's analysis piece here:

Number 10 sources claim they repeatedly asked for the press conference to be moved inside. Luxembourg said no.It was a one-man show. Mr Bettel was able to launch an uninterrupted assault on the UK side - to cheers from the crowd.Don't blame the EU for failure, he said. Brexit is not my choice, he said, sounding increasingly furious.

Mr Johnson was not there to challenge, to retort, to hit back or proffer a positive spin. The optics for the British were miserable.We're told Luxembourg had no room technically ready for a hastily rearranged press event, so had to stick with the outdoor plan.Many are already crying foul, insisting it was a stitch-up by an EU leader .Hardly the end to the day Boris Johnson had wanted. He'd promised progress, that a deal could be done.

This compilation of Boris Johnson being heckled by the public shows just how unpopular he isBoris Johnson's first few months as prime minister hasn't been the easiest as he has already lost a record number of votes and has been haemorrhaging Tory MPs left, right and centre. He is unpopular with remainers and leftists but still more popular than Corbyn or Swinson Mr. Johnson’s supporters don’t go around making a scene in front of the cameras. Looks like the Lefty news media in England is patterning itself after the US Lefty propagandists

David Cameron on Brexit regrets, Boris Johnson and the expulsion of 21 Tory MPs – videoDavid Cameron has said he does not think Boris Johnson was right to suspend parliament and believes it was 'probably counterproductive' Hint. Editing should be done before publication Cameron deserves an apology What a disgusting editorial re his privileged pain over the death of his child as your spiteful sick comments put it. Withdrawn but should never have been published. I am so seldom aligned with David Cameron on things but your poisonous, mean, nasty, divisive journalism has made me in this moment. You add to the terrible tone and rhetoric of public discourse at this time, a time when we need to do the opposite.
