Boris Johnson is about to agree a deal which will see tariffs put on UK goods when we diverge from EU standards. This footage, from the referendum campaign in 2016, shows he misled Britain.
(Location: Dover ferry terminal)
We found this footage because we’ve been tracking down every word Johnson said in the 2016 referendum campaign, so everyone can compare what he promised to what he now delivers. It’s 200k words and it’s here at JohnsonDossier.com
The dossier contains every tweet, Facebook post, speech, interview, article & parliamentary answer we can find, from Feb-June 2016. It’s a public resource for voters, journalists and politicians to hold the PM to account over the coming months and years
In the full Dartford speech Johnson promises to diverge from EU standards (that’s the whole *point* of Brexit) while also promising there will be no tariffs. That claim, as we’ll see when he signs his deal, was a lie

We own TheBrexitParty.com. Farage and co have sent us a long legal letter demanding we give it to him. Well, he can have the website... for a million quid, all proceeds to the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants (price goes up £50k a day)
In the 8-page legal letter we got from Farage’s lawyers he cites EU law *five* times. Who knew Nigel Farage was such a fan of European law? 🤔
Dunno if he'll cough up, but for now we’ve turned TheBrexitParty.com into a Tory-Brexit Party electoral alliance advent calendar. Open a new door every day until Dec 12 to see examples of lies, lunacy & hypocrisy from the Conservatives and their new allies, the Brexit Party

Boris Johnson is using his executive power to suppress the report into Russian interference in our democracy until after the election. Why? #releasetherussiareport #ge2019

One of the nine donors is Alexander Temerko who has donated £1.2m to the Conservative party in the last 7 years. Though he now says he wants the report released

Boris Johnson hosted the IFT’s launch event. According to documents released under Freedom of Information legislation he gave the IFT free use of the Foreign Office at a cost to taxpayers of £6k
