Former prime minister David Cameron, who quit after calling Britain’s EU membership referendum in 2016 — said Boris Johnson had told him he was sure Brexit would be “crushed like a toad”. Cameron has broken a long spell of silence that followed his resignation to promote a tell-all book about who said what as Britain approached the historic vote. “He thought that the Brexit vote would be lost but he didn’t want to give up the chance of being on the romantic, patriotic nationalistic side of Brexit,” said Cameron.
