(UTV|COLOMBO) – David Cameron has accused the current prime minister, Boris Johnson, and Michael Gove of behaving “appallingly” during the EU referendum campaign.
Speaking to the Times ahead of the launch of his memoir, the former Tory PM attacked some colleagues who backed Leave for “trashing the government”.
Mr Cameron said the result in 2016 had left him “hugely depressed” and he knew “some people will never forgive me”.
He also said another referendum cannot be ruled out “because we’re stuck”.
Mr Cameron criticised Mr Johnson’s strategy for dealing with Brexit, including his decision to suspend Parliament ahead of the 31 October deadline and removing the whip from 21 Tory MPs who voted to block a no-deal Brexit.
The prime minister has said the suspension – or prorogation – is a normal action of a new government to let it lay out its new policies in a Queen’s Speech, and blocking no-deal would “scupper” his negotiations with the EU. (BBC)
