British Prime Minister Boris Johnson 's father Stanley confirmed plans on Thursday to seek French citizenship as the free movement of Britons in the EU comes to an end under the Brexit pact delivered by his son. Speaking to France's RTL radio in French, Stanley Johnson said: "It's not a question of becoming French. Europe is more than the single market, it's more than the European Union." She wrote that her grandmother was born in Versailles and said that if her father received French citizenship she too would like to become French. The UK's tortuous departure from the European Union takes full effect at 2300 GMT when an 11-month transition post-Brexit transition period comes to an end.
