His comments come ahead of the release of European election results, which are expected to show Nigel Farage’s Brexit party trouncing the Conservatives. Stewart said: “I spoke to Boris, I suppose, about two weeks ago and I thought at the time he had assured me that he wouldn’t push for a no-deal Brexit. “But it now seems that he is coming out for a no-deal Brexit. It does not appear likely that there is a majority in parliament for any deal and there is clearly a majority against a no-deal Brexit.
