Boris Johnson today warned Brussels that the UK will slash red tape and taxes to compete if it is forced to leave with No Deal. The race to succeed Theresa May has just over a fortnight left to run, with Mr Johnson hot favourite to defeat rival Jeremy Hunt. Writing on the BrexitCentral website, Mr Johnson vowed to defy the revolt. In a stark message, Mr Johnson said: 'If our friends feel they cannot agree, then we will be match fit for no deal.' Mr Johnson also used his regular Daily Telegraph column to argue the case for increasing access to apprenticeships.
