Ms Braverman later claimed she was “wrong” to think the “Eurosceptic right of the party had won after Boris (Johnson) became prime minister” and instigated Brexit, adding: “Brexit was actually a facade for what turned out to be a largely Lib Dem, socialist-light agenda, because after 2020 what have you seen? Out-of-control immigration, Northern Ireland siphoned off, EU rules still applying in the UK, the highest tax burden in 70 years, a bigger welfare state, weak borders and woke ideology taking over our institutions.”
