‘We think we can get a better deal than the botched deal that Boris Johnson bought home and we will work on that’ BELFAST: Britain’s new Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Monday promised to get a better deal with the European Union on post-Brexit trading rules than a “botched deal” secured by former prime minister Boris Johnson. “We think we can get a better deal than the botched deal that Boris Johnson bought home and we will work on that,” Starmer told journalists in Belfast as part of a tour of the four nations of the United Kingdom.
