Boris Johnson must go on trial for 'lying and misleading' in Brexit campaign, judge orders

Boris Johnson is to go on trial for allegedly “lying and misleading the British public” about the consequences of Brexit.

“One example is given that in a televised interview in May 2016 the proposed defendant [Mr Johnson] stated, 'we send the EU £10bn per year' and that therefore he knew that the £350m per week figure (£20bn per year) was incorrect.”
