Boris Johnson and his Brexit deal have only one nation in mind: ENGLAND, not whole UK - Lord Newby

Lord Newby has expressed his concerns that UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has only one nation in mind, being England and not the whole United Kingdom.

Lord Newby was speaking after the Queen's Speech in the House of Lords.

"The Brexit deal, which is going to place a customs border somewhere, will inevitably increase the attractiveness of a single state in Ireland and will increase demands, possibly in the near future, for a border poll on the issue.

Moreover, relations with Scotland and its people look set to become more fraught, rather than less.

The Prime Minister might portray himself as a one-nation Conservative, but I fear that the one nation he has in mind is England, not the United Kingdom".
