Boris Johnson has become the latest leading Brexiteer to voice his anger about Sir Keir Starmer's "total sell out" deal with Brussels and warned the UK risks becoming the "gimp of Brussels".

The former Prime Minister, who was one of the main architects of the Vote Leave campaign in 2016, set out the five major problems with Starmer's agreement.

Speaking to the GB News, Johnson warned becoming a rule-taker, giving fishing rights to European trawlermen, signing up to dynamic alignment, opening the door to a borders "sell out", and contributing to Brussels' funding pots were all key downsides of the agreement.

Johnson told the People's Channel: "I think it's a complete and deliberate betrayal of Brexit and it goes against what the Prime Minister said he was going to do at the election in 2024.

"He said he wouldn't go back on Brexit, on the freedoms that the British people won in that referendum, he's done the absolute reverse. He's decided to make to make this country a rule-taker."

In a swipe at Starmer, Johnson added: "Worst of all, he's decided we can pay for all this. We can pay for the privilege of once again being ruled, in many ways, by Brussels.

"We're going to be coughing up to the EU budgets. It's absolutely absurd. It goes against what he said. He's turning this country once again into the orange ball chewing, leather-truss gimp of Brussels."

Starmer, who described his EU reset agreement as a "win-win", sparked fury after it was announced European trawlermen have been handed unchanged access to Britain's fishing waters until 2038.

Despite British fishermen often raging about being let down by Johnson, the former Prime Minister argued: "From January next year, every halibut, every cod, every mackerel, was going to revert completely to UK control.

"The disaster is that Starmer, the Labour Prime Minister, has thrown away that advantage of absolutely nothing in return."
