Brexit: Boris Johnson hits back at Donald Tusk over 'Mr No Deal' claim

Boris Johnson has sought to place the blame for a potential no-deal Brexit at the feet of the Europeans as he touched down in Biarritz for his first global summit as UK prime minister.

The newly appointed Mr Johnson told reporters he didn't want a no-deal but said the Irish backstop had to be removed from the withdrawal agreement in order to avoid that outcome. "As I made absolutely clear, I don't want a no-deal Brexit but I say to our EU friends if they don't want no-deal they have got to get rid of the backstop from the treaty," he said in a briefing to journalists on his prime ministerial aeroplane.at European Council President Donald Tusk's remarks that the new British PM should try to avoid a legacy of being"Mr No Deal Brexit".

"If Donald Tusk doesn't want to go down in history as Mr No Deal Brexit then I hope this point will be borne in mind by him too."The spat came after Mr Tusk warned Mr Johnson that the EU would not cooperate on a managed no-deal exit from the EU. "The one thing I will not cooperate on is no-deal," said Mr Tusk."And I still hope that PM Johnson will not like to go down in history as Mr No Deal. We are willing to listen to ideas that are operational, realistic and acceptable to all member states including Ireland, if and when the UK government is ready to put them on the table."

He's a lad our Johnson blame everyone else when you get caught

Time to tighten our belts & prepare for no deal if the EU don't wanna FTA

I don't mind if you go I don't mind if you take it slow I don't mind if you say yes or no I don't mind at all I don't care if you live or die Couldn't care less if you laugh or cry I don't mind if you crash or fly I don't mind at all

Bojo I'm waiting for your U turn

TUSCK just an unlected no boddy . no 1 across europe voted 4 aney of these pople cominishers

Donald Tusk... a failed politician in his own country and hated there also! Doing a good job of being hated here too!

The backstop stays. Simple as that. Boris needs to define and implement his alternative arrangements over the next two years and the The backstop never gets invoked. Only question is, has he being telling the truth about the alternative arrangements or has he being lying?

The EU is getting worried 🤣

But thats what we want a no deal Brexit. Be a hero BorisJohnson majority won, game should be over by now. Stop cowtailing to the EU they will come cap in hand once we are out WTO all they way..

Reactive response from boris. Tit for tat 👍

The EU have already negotiated a deal with the UK and it's the DUP red lines that are thwarting that deal. I'm not sure the EU care so much about mollifying the DUP, all for those 10 votes which are keeping the tories in power.
