Tory leader contender Sajid Javid rules out second referendum
Tory leader hopeful Sajid Javid has ruled out a second referendum, an early election or revoking Article 50 if he were to be successful in the race to replace Theresa May.
Mr Javid, writing in the Daily Mail, said that another vote “would be disastrous for trust in politics” as he says he would prepare fully for a no-deal Brexit.
The Home Secretary said he would negotiate an amendment to the Irish backstop with Ireland in a bid to get a deal passed by MPs in the House of Commons.
He said: "The voters have been asked their opinion more than enough times.
“Never in this country's history have we asked people to go to the polls a second time without implementing their verdict from the first.
“Another vote before we leave would be disastrous for trust in politics, and cause the kind of chaos that risks handing Jeremy Corbyn and his hard-left supporters the keys to No 10.”
Theresa May will resign as leader on Friday June 7 and 12 MPs are currently battling it out to be her replacement.
US President Donald Trump has backed Boris Johnson in the leadership contest saying that he would be an “excellent choice”.

Other contenders in the tight race are the cabinet ministers Jeremy Hunt, Rory Stewart and Michael Gove.
Writing in the Daily Mail, Mr Javid also said that three years after the EU referendum “the British people’s frustration and the need to make good on the referendum result have never been greater”.
He said he would be the right person to take the lead and referred to his experience in business where he would negotiate in international deals.
He said: “Now, I'm ready apply those skills to the biggest challenge this country has faced since 1945 – and I have a detailed plan for doing so”.
“First, we must unite as a party to get a deal through in this Parliament. Some argue we should have a second referendum.
Others, a general election. Some even suggest revoking Article 50. Well, in the words of a great British Prime Minister who knew how to get what she wanted from the European Commission: No, no, no.”
