Brexit reaction: May and Cox have merely 'sowed an apron of fig leaves' over UK's Brexit 'indignity', says Boris Johnson

The DUP has indicated that the party will not support Theresa May’s deal saying in a statement “that sufficient progress has not been achieved at this time”.

Update: Britain's former Brexit secretary Boris Johnson said the British Prime Minister and Attorney General had merely sowed an “apron of fig leaves” to cover the embarrassment of the Brexit deal.

The Uxbridge and South Ruislip MP said: “The result is like Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden – they have sowed an apron of fig leaves that does nothing to conceal the embarrassment and indignity of the UK.”
