MANCHESTER: British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Saturday said Brexit was a"massive economic opportunity" but had been treated under his predecessor Theresa May as"an impending adverse weather event".
Johnson promises to give more powers to local communities, as well as boost broadband and transport infrastructure in a speech focused on domestic issues. "Leaving the EU is a massive economic opportunity to do things we've not been allowed to do for decades," he said.Asked about the prospect of Brexit negotiations, Johnson said he was willing to engage with EU partners but only if the backstop clause was removed from the current divorce agreement struck by May.
