Boris Johnson’s lawyer wife backs Hard Brexit to take the power back from Euro judges
Human rights lawyer Marina Wheeler QC strongly believes European judges should stay out of matters of national security and has backed her husband's vision for EU withdrawal
BORIS Johnson’s wife threw her support behind a hard Brexit by demanding Britain take back sovereignty from Euro judges.
The Foreign Secretary sparked a Tory Party civil war last week after going behind the PM’s back and publishing his own vision for EU withdrawal.
BoJo’s wife Marina Wheeler QC has now waded in as Theresa May is set for a showdown with him ahead of her Brexit speech in Italy next week.
Writing in The Spectator, the human rights lawyer blasted European judges for poking their noses into issues of national security.
She slammed a European Court of Justice bid to force Britain into the bulk collection of communications data.
Ms Wheeler wrote: “Reclaiming sovereignty allows the nation to decide for itself how to balance the needs of security with the requirements of privacy and keep its citizens (and visitors) safe.
“Co-operating with others to improve security plainly makes sense. Giving up the right to decide does not.”
The PM last night ordered BoJo to fly home from the UN assembly in New York on her RAF flight, sparking suspicion she wants to give him a mile-high rollocking. BoJo was due to return this afternoon.
He wants the PM to slash payments to the EU post-Brexit and invest in the NHS.
She is set to offer to pay almost £20billion in exchange for access to the single market during a transition deal.
