Boris Johnson has been caught out once again

Commenting on new government documents uncovered by the Labour Party suggesting the Prime Minister has misled the public over post-Brexit customs checks for Northern Ireland, UNISON general secretary Dave Prentis said:

“Once again, government documents show you can’t trust Boris Johnson.

“His reckless approach and cavalier disregard for the truth is putting at risk the hard-won peace in Northern Ireland.

“It’s vital the Good Friday Agreement is protected by the next government.”
