'It's not normal for the prime minister having asked for a referendum vote suddenly to evacuate the stage'
Boris Johnson has criticised David Cameron's handling of the Brexit vote aftermath in an ITV interview this evening, suggesting it was 'not normal' for the former prime minister to 'evacuate the stage' post-referendum. Accusations have been levelled at Mr Johnson and Michael Gove, both part of the Vote Leave campaign, for allegedly causing chaos in the UK by advocating for Brexit without a clear plan. However, Mr Johnson attempted to turn the blame onto Lord Cameron.
He added: 'Because every other European leader when their whole referendum decides, you know, once the people have voted, decides what to do and stays in office. 'So, it's not normal for the prime minister having asked for a referendum vote suddenly to evacuate the stage.' This was due to be Johnson's first rigorous interrogation on his period as PM on television since resigning in September 2022.
