BORIS JOHNSON has come under scathing attack over the UK's failures on Brexit, and is accused of failing to deliver a true departure from the European Union.

Last month, Britain celebrated a year since formally leaving the EU after the two sides had finally thrashed out an eleventh-hour post-Brexit trade deal. Prime Minister Mr Johnson has continued to insist the UK will flourish outside the EU as a sovereign nation. But several issues still persist, namely the furious row with Brussels over the implementation of the Northern Ireland Protocol and the possible triggering of the Article 16 safeguard mechanism.
Talks are ongoing with the EU but have collapsed on several occasions as both sides continue to stand their ground.
Earlier this week, author Tony Parsons caused a huge stir by claiming Britons have been cheated after winning freedom from the EU.
He said: "I can’t think of one Brexit promise that has been kept. Not one.
"Slashing taxes? No. Reducing energy bills? No. Taking back control of borders? No."
Britons have sided with Mr Parsons by turning on Mr Johnson and accusing him of broken promises over Brexit.
Reacting to our initial story, Express.co.uk reader "London Town" said Mr Johnson had "let us down badly".
They wrote: "We voted you in to finish Brexit in full but no all you have done is make a big mess of it.
"Behind it all you are a Remainer and behind it all you want the UK to stay in the EU by the back door.

"Now you will get your comeuppance by us voters for your failure."
"Rossbeigh" fumed: "Is this a joke question? Brexit will go down as the worst policy decision a government has enacted on itself in modern times."
Fellow Express.co.uk reader BernardManning wrote: "I really like Boris, but the fact is that by trying to please everybody and he's ended up pleasing nobody.
"Given the Remainers are trying to get him fired as PM, he should instruct Liz Truss to invoke Article 16 right now, ditch the naff TCA and go full WTO."

"BobHubbuck" added: I and others have been saying all along that we have not got a true Brexit."
Several other Express.co.uk readers attacked Remainers for trying to put a roadblock in place to stop the UK's departure from the EU.
Reader "realisticron" said: "Brexit was the best thing ever for the UK.
"It would have been all roses if it hadn't been for the Remainers and the attitude of the EU.
"We have a far greater standing on the world platform.
"In a few years we will be laughing at the EU as we leave them standing."
Omoni007 claimed: "Brexit is not working due to Remainer civil servants making it impossible at every opportunity they get."
