David Cameron has become the third former Conservative prime minister to express disquiet about Boris Johnson’s proposal to breach international law by unilaterally redrafting part of the Brexit deal with the EU, saying he had “misgivings” about the idea.

In comments on Monday, before MPs began debating the internal market bill that sets out the plans, Cameron said: “Passing an act of parliament and then going on to break an international treaty obligation is the very, very last thing you should contemplate.

“It should be an absolute final resort. So, I do have misgivings about what’s being proposed.”

Theresa May and John Major have warned in stronger terms about the plans, saying they could damage the UK’s international reputation, as has another former Conservative leader, Michael Howard.

1. Welcome to Trumpworld.

2. Brexit could never work to the UKs advantage

so the only way for Boris to make it less than disastrous is to violate the deal for the Irish border. Which will also end up as a disaster.

3. i honestly believe that that moron never fully thought this through

and much like the orange asshole went with his "gut feeling" to make this happen.

just another stooge for russia.

if the brits don't eventually get rid of this asshole, just like us, they deserve all the pain and misery brexit will bring them.

I predict in a few years, after it is shown that brexit was a flaming bag of dog shit, England will go back to the EU, with hat in hand, begging to be allowed back in. And the EU will say sure...but there are a few conditions. aka England will get a royal spanking and have to sign a bunch of stipulations. then the will be allowed back in.
