As @AndrewSparrow at the @guardian points out, Johnson led Vote Leave and then wrote the following in the Telegraph after the referendum result. Line by line analysis of the key part?: /1
"I cannot stress too much that Britain is part of Europe, and always will be."
Well, he can't change geography, but the centre of gravity in politics and economics in Europe is not in the UK, and the UK is relegated to the periphery with a very limited relationship to the EU. /2
"There will still be intense and intensifying European cooperation and partnership in a huge number of fields: the arts, the sciences, the universities, and on improving the environment."
No: no partnership and none will intensify. Env only because EU insistence on LPF? /3
"EU citizens living in this country will have their rights fully protected, and the same goes for British citizens living in the EU."
No: 'settled status' not the same for EU citizens and Windrush-type scandal expected. /4
"British people will still be able to go and work in the EU; to live; to travel; to study; to buy homes and to settle down."
No: free movement ('proudly') ended. Short visits only, visas for work, massive bureaucracy. Only Brits with a 2nd nationality keep the benefits. /5
