Boris Johnson’s ex-wife hits out at his Brexit deal
- Marina Wheeler, Boris Johnson's ex-wife, is releasing a book titled A More Perfect Union that critiques the Brexit deal her former husband negotiated.
- Ms Wheeler's book will advocate for a closer relationship between Britain and the EU, urging political leaders to acknowledge Europe's central role in Britain's future.
- The book's publisher, Weidenfeld & Nicolson, likens Mr Johnson's Brexit deal to a bare-minimum divorce settlement, emphasising the need for broader cooperation between Britain and Europe.
- Ms Wheeler, a human rights lawyer who separated from Mr Johnson in 2018, argues that the current global instability presents an opportunity to rectify past mistakes and build a stronger, more unified Europe.
- The announcement follows Boris Johnson's recent criticism of current Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s Brexit deal, which he described as "hopelessly one-sided".
