Boris under fire for rejecting Brexit delay
Boris Johnson last night came under fire from his Tory leadership rivals for vowing to reject a delay to Brexit in favour of No Deal.
Appearing on a head-to-head TV debate, Mr Johnson said Britain would “pay a really serious price” if the October deadline is extended.
Michael Gove and Jeremy Hunt argued that a delay beyond the current October deadline may be necessary.
They suggested that if a deal is close it would be better to postpone the UK’s divorce from the block in order to secure one.
Dominic Raab was eliminated from the race yesterday and another hopeful will be knocked out later today in the third round of votes.
