Boris vows to take Britain out of the ‘prison’ of the EU by October 31 ‘do or die’ and sets out his plan B for Brexit
BORIS Johnson today vowed to take the UK out of the “prison” of the EU by October 31 “do or die” as he set out his plans to deliver our exit.
The frontrunner revealed his plan A, B and C for getting Britain out – and vowed to scrap Theresa May’s hated withdrawal agreement.
In an interview with talkRADIO he said: “We are getting ready to come out on October the 31st. Come what may. Do or die.”
He refused to delay Brexit again with another extension like Mrs May did twice, and said his “positive energy” would unlock the talks.
Boris blasted: “I’ve never seen such morosity and gloom from a government.
“For three years we’ve been sitting around wrapped in defeatism telling the British public that they can’t do this or that. It is pathetic, it’s absolutely pathetic.”
His plan would be firstly to get a better deal through more talks with the EU.
He would implement a “standstill” arrangement with the bloc “so that we keep going with the existing arrangements until such time as we’ve completed our free trade agreement and we use that period to solve the questions of the Northern Ireland border.”
And he vowed: “I think we can do that.”
Launching a furious broadside against the EU he blasted: “We haven’t even really wanted to come out. That’s the whole, that’s the, the heart of the problem.
“What we’ve been doing is we’ve been creating our own incarcerate, our in prison. The backstop, the customs union and the single market are all basically designed to keep us in.”
Mrs May’s withdrawal agreement was “effectively over” he admitted.
“We need a new withdrawal agreement.”
A Hunt campaign source said this morning: “Boris’s undeliverable proposals will result in a General Election. He is gambling on giving our members Corbyn for Christmas.”
