I'm saying this would be incredibly damaging breach of trust and it would also be very bad for Britain's reputation abroad, having decided to leave the EU, if we in the end for whatever reasons found we weren't able to do it."

“The principle is the backstop which traps us into following EU customs tariffs until the EU gives us permission to leave the customs union... we have to find a different solution.”

“My plan for defence will give our brave troops the backing they need and show the world that when it comes to the new threats to Western values, Britain is back and Britain's voice will be strong”

“As a businessman I always paid my bills. That being said, if we leave without a deal I will not hand over a penny more than is legally required of us.”

“Both of us would be crucified by our base if we went into a general election having promised that we would respect the referendum result and not having respected it”

“existential risk to our party unless we now come together and get Brexit done”
