Cameron criticises Johnson's Brexit strategy

Following Boris Johnson's election as prime minister, David Cameron publicly criticized Johnson's approach to Brexit. Cameron's concerns centered on several key actions taken by Johnson, particularly the decision to prorogue parliament just before the Brexit deadline. This move was seen as an attempt to limit parliamentary debate and scrutiny regarding the UK's exit from the European Union. Additionally, Cameron expressed disapproval of Johnson's decision to remove the whip from Conservative MPs who opposed a no-deal Brexit, which he viewed as undermining party unity and democratic processes. Cameron's criticisms extended to the conduct of Johnson and Michael Gove during the 2016 referendum campaign, where he accused them of behaving inappropriately and irresponsibly. This public dissent from a former prime minister highlighted the ongoing divisions within the Conservative Party and the broader implications of Brexit on UK politics.
