Boris Johnson is a “bloody nuisance” over a potential deal to end the Brexit deadlock with Brussels, it has been claimed.
The Government is increasingly hopeful of a breakthrough with the EU over the Northern Ireland Protocol, the post-withdrawal mechanism which prevents a hard border between the province and the Republic.
However, former Prime Minister Mr Johnson warned that dropping the Northern Ireland Protocol Bill - which would empower the UK to unilaterally scrap parts of its trading deal with the bloc - would be a "great mistake".
