PAUL BLOMFIELD - Key Persons
Boris Johnson negotiated a ‘new' deal with the EU, which was largely the same as Theresa May's, but sold his DUP allies down the river by creating barriers for trade between Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK - something that had always been on offer from the EU, but rejected by May. The Government introduced their first Withdrawal Agreement Bill in October, which we opposed because it was a bad deal for the UK. They won a vote on the principle of the Bill at Second Reading, but we were successful in leading opposition parties and sympathetic Conservatives to reject the Government's attempt to push the Bill through with insufficient scrutiny. This prompted Boris Johnson to engineer a general election.
