Brexit Britain is not as independent as Boris Johnson promised it would be when he vowed to deliver an "oven-ready" Brexit deal with the EU, a political expert has claimed.
Speaking to DW, political scientist Tanja Borzel claimed Boris Johnson has failed to deliver on his promise to "take back control" as she analysed the Brexit deal the Prime Minister has signed with the EU in December.
Ms Borzel argued that as the UK will still be forced to comply with some EU laws and to pay into the Brussels annual budget, Britain is yet to be independent from the bloc.
