Voter Berates UK PM Over Brexit

Woman says he is offering ‘fairy tale’ while people ‘dying from austerity’

Boris Johnson was confronted by an angry voter in Doncaster on Friday who accused him of peddling a Brexit ‘fairy tale’. The PM was accosted by a woman as he did a walkabout in the town centre during his ‘shadow’ election campaign.

Mr Johnson was told he had a ‘cheek’ claiming ‘austerity is over’ when people were ‘dying’.

The clash comes after Mr Johnson was accosted by a voter in Leeds last week who asked why he wasn’t busy in the EU trying to negotiate a Brexit deal.

The PM is on the road in Yorkshire — where he will use a speech later to vow to fire up the ‘Northern Powerhouse’ economic project.

But most of the focus is on his increasingly frantic efforts to find a way through the Brexit impasse, as he faces breaking his ‘do or die’ promise to get the UK out of the EU by October 31.
