Johnson ‘out of the loop’ on Brexit talks, says Hogan

Irish EU commissioner, Phil Hogan, has launched a scathing attack on Boris Johnson, claiming the British foreign secretary is “completely out of the loop” on the Brexit negotiations.

The criticism by the Agriculture Commissioner comes ahead of a key speech by British prime minister, Theresa May, who, tomorrow, will reveal more about her country’s EU withdrawal.

Ireland’s continuing concerns about a fresh border, post-Brexit, will also be addressed in the Dáil today, by EU parliament Brexit negotiator, Guy Verhoftstadt.
