UK foreign Secretary and pro-Brexiter, Boris Johnson
has finally listed out four-point blueprint to likely to be achieved by the
government when Article 50 is triggered. According to Sky News, the areas
include border control, control of money, laws and free trade.
Boris who is one of the people that said the UK pays about £350M
weekly to the EU, could use such money to fund the NHS, in his statement
refused to to rule out payments to the EU in order for the UK to retain access
to the EU single market
Such a stance by Boris, is in contrast with his pre-Brexit campaign
which is also mooted by Brexit Secretary David Davis, would allow the UK to
have a soft Brexit, rather than a 'hard' one which would involve leaving the
free trade area.
Mr Johnson told Sky's Murnaghan programme: "You... have...
got to take back control of money, control of our democracy, our laws and be in
a position to do free trade deals and that is what the Prime Minister wants to
achieve.
"What David has said is that (paying for access to the
single market) is the kind of thing that could be considered but we are not
getting into a running commentary of our negotiations.
"I've given you a pretty fair, four-point analysis of
what we need to achieve - control of borders, control of money, control of laws
and the ability to do free trade deals.
"Within those ideas - those very simple ideas - is a
wealth of information about the kind of deal we want.
"I've no doubt that we can achieve it. It'll be good,
not just for the UK, but it would be good for the whole of Europe as well."
He said: "Your story was a dud. It was wrong. It was a
load of old baloney. That's not your fault. It's perhaps not even the fault of
the journalist.
"I don't blame him. He was offered something which is
completely untrue, it is nonsense."
