Boris Johnson has vowed to withhold Britain’s 39 billion pounds Brexit “divorce” payment until the EU agrees better terms for the UK to leave.
Mr Boris said withholding the cash, scrapping the Northern Ireland backstop, guaranteeing the rights of all EU citizens in Britain while stepping up preparations for a No Deal “disruption” are among measures the government would carry out if he is elected leader of the Conservative party.
Mr Johnson claims he has forgiven Michael Gove for his betrayal during the 2016 leadership contest, suggesting he could give Gove a cabinet role if he is elected party leader.
