The Irish government are under major pressure today after the new British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has announced he will take Britain out of the European Union one way or the other before the October exit date.
Boris Johnson managed to beat Jeremy Hunt in the race to become Britain’s new Prime Minister.
The colourful character politician was sworn in as Britain’s new Prime Minister and laid out his plans, including ensuring that Brexit happens, no matter what.
Mr Johnson declared that it was an “extraordinary honour and privilege” to be elected the new Tory leader and pledged to “energise the country” following the announcement that he was indeed to become the new Prime Minister.
“The campaign is over and the work begins,” he added, according to Sky News.
The real concern from an Irish point of view is what will happen with the backstop and whether there’ll once again be a hard border on the island of Ireland.
