The Foreign Secretary said the Prime Minister had set out a 'clear plan that can work for all of us'
BORIS Johnson has praised Theresa May for setting out a “powerful and ambitious” vision for the UK in her Brexit speech yesterday.
The Foreign Secretary said the Prime Minister had set out a “clear plan that can work for all of us” in his column for The Daily Telegraph.
He said: “She set out a powerful and ambitious vision for this country, so that we can see exactly where we are going, and how we will get there.
“Point by point, she nailed the “ambiguities”. She explained – to Britain and the world – how we can leave the EU, and yet not leave Europe.”
Despite the UK leaving the EU, Mr Johnson said the country will “continue to share European values” and take part in European scientific and educational programmes.
In his closing remarks he added: “We think there is a deal to be done that is great for the UK and for our EU partners.
“Theresa May has set out a clear plan that can work for all of us.”
