The ousting of Boris Johnson as Prime Minister will not result in the government backtracking on Brexit, two Tory politicians told Breitbart London in the wake of his resignation.
Amid clamouring from Remainers and Europhiles for the United Kingdom to rejoin the European Union, or at least the EU Single Market, and with several of the leading figures vying to replace Boris Johnson, including Foreign Affairs Committee chairman Tom Tugendhat and Defence Secretary Ben Wallace, voting Remain in the 2016 referendum, the future of the Brexit project seems unclear.
However, Conservative MP and staunch Brexiteer Tim Loughton told Breitbart London that the country is no longer in a “Leave or Remain environment”.
“Brexit is secure, even the Labour Party effectively had to say that. There are ongoing practical problems around Northern Ireland which still need to be resolved, all of us in our party acknowledge that has to be resolved.”
Mr Loughton, who first called on the PM to resign in January amid the ‘partygate’ scandal and stood up in Parliament against Boris Johnson in the final Prime Minister’s Questions (PMQs) prior to his resignation, said that the removal of Johnson was not about policy.
“It’s just purely about the leadership of… the person whose name is over the door at Number 10, now that is about to be resolved and we can get back to the business of governing and get back to the policies, of which there are many, we need to get on with.”
