“We always wanted something better.\u201d<\/p>\n
The confession sparked fury among Remainers, who were incensed that Boris Johnson\u2019s Government may not want to continue operating within a below-par deal with the EU.<\/p>\n
Mike Galsworthy, a leading pro-EU campaigner, said it was proof the Boris Johnson Government signed a contract \u201cthat they intended to break by hook or by crook\u201d.<\/p>\n
