Government urged to ditch Brexit ‘one-upmanship’

The Government has been urged to tone down the rhetoric and to stop engaging in a Brexit “one-upmanship” battle with new British prime minister, Boris Johnson. A war of words may cause a no-deal crisis.

Last night, Fianna Fáil called on the Government to calm the situation. There are still no plans for when Taoiseach Leo Varadkar and Mr Johnson will meet one-to-one.
