Boris: Keir is ‘manacled gimp of Brussels’

Ding ding ding! Sir Keir Starmer may have lauded it a ‘landmark’ deal but his agreement with the EU has gone done like a bucket of cold sick with the UK’s most senior Brexiteers. Former prime minister Boris Johnson is the latest to take to Twitter to lambast the move – and the gloves are well and truly off. In a fiery pitch, BoJo scorns the PM’s ‘appalling sell-out of a deal’, blasts Starmer for sacrificing Britain’s freedom to ‘do proper trade deals’ and concludes tersely: ‘Two-tier Keir is the orange ball-chewing manacled gimp of Brussels.’ Tell us what you really think!

Unleashing a vitriolic tirade on Sir Keir, the face of the ‘Get Brexit Done’ campaign picks apart the agreements on fishing, free movement and food standards. In the pugnacious post, Boris dubbed today’s UK-EU deal as ‘hopelessly one-sided’, remarking curtly: ‘It combines the vassalage of Chequers with the surrenderism of Chagos.’
