Voter Berates UK PM Over Brexit

Woman says he is offering ‘fairy tale’ while people ‘dying from austerity’

- 

Boris Johnson was confronted by an angry voter in Doncaster on Friday who accused him of peddling a Brexit ‘fairy tale’. The PM was accosted by a woman as he did a walkabout in the town centre during his ‘shadow’ election campaign.

Mr Johnson was told he had a ‘cheek’ claiming ‘austerity is over’ when people were ‘dying’.

The clash comes after Mr Johnson was accosted by a voter in Leeds last week who asked why he wasn’t busy in the EU trying to negotiate a Brexit deal.

The PM is on the road in Yorkshire — where he will use a speech later to vow to fire up the ‘Northern Powerhouse’ economic project.

But most of the focus is on his increasingly frantic efforts to find a way through the Brexit impasse, as he faces breaking his ‘do or die’ promise to get the UK out of the EU by October 31.
