(ANSA) – LONDON, NOV 6 – A government that is “perhaps politically corrupt”. John Major, former British premier after Margaret Thatcher, returns to attack Boris Johnson, his current successor in Downing Street and at the head of the Conservative Party: a successor he never appreciated (reciprocated), but against whom he now raises the tone of the controversy at unprecedented levels by an ex, denouncing his latest actions as “shameful”.
Interviewed by the BBC and other media, Sir John, 78, this time targeted the current prime minister both on the management of Brexit – of which BoJo was a standard bearer and which Major has always opposed since the pro Remain campaign to the referendum. of 2016 -, both on the scandal triggered in recent days by the Owen Paterson affair: former Tory minister who resigned as deputy after the majority had saved him, with an unprecedented amendment endorsed by the government, from the suspension of 30 days from the work of the Chamber of Municipalities imposed on him following a case of alleged gold advice by the Westminster disciplinary authority, the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards; except having to backtrack the next day in a storm of controversy: “it was worse than a mistake, it was an enormously damaging wound” in Parliament, thundered Major.
As for Brexit, he branded as “stupid” and dangerous for the very stability of the nation the hypothesis that the Johnson cabinet could denounce the protocol on Northern Ireland it had signed with Brussels. (HANDLE).
