Johnson mysteriously absent from Sunak’s big Brexit deal speech – and it hasn’t gone unnoticed

Boris Johnson failed to make an appearance in the House of Commons after Rishi Sunak secured a historic deal with the European Union over Northern Ireland.

The former prime minister’s controversial legislation to override post-Brexit rules in the island of Ireland was spectacularly dumped by his predecessor-but-one on Monday in a newly-negotiated deal.

In a Commons address, Sunak told MPs that his new deal “puts beyond all doubt that we’ve now taken back control”, echoing Johnson’s slogan.

Johnson had been warning his successor that scrapping the legislation would be a “great mistake”.

But he was noticeably absent in Parliament on Monday as the deal was unveiled.

Thankfully, it didn’t go unnoticed:

It’s the way he tells them…

Sunak thanks his predecessors for “laying the groundwork” to his deal.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
