LONDON - Nicholas Soames, the grandson of World War Two leader Winston Churchill, said on Wednesday that Brexit is sending Britain’s status into “free fall” after he was sacked from the Conservative Party for rebelling on a vote on leaving the European Union.
Soames, 71, who has been a Member of Parliament since 1983, said Britain’s image was being tarnished by Brexit. “I have always believed that the referendum result must be honored and indeed I have voted for the withdrawal deal .... which is more than can be said for my right honorable friend the prime minister, the leader of the house, and other members of the cabinet, whose serial disloyalty has been such an inspiration for so many of us,” Soames told parliament.
“These are friends of mine, and believe me, I take absolutely no joy in any of it. But it was very sad and surprising that they should choose to undermine the UK’s ability to get a deal,” Johnson told broadcaster ITV.
