Boris Johnson ramped up his campaign to become Britain’s next prime minister, vowing to take the country out of the European Union with or without a deal on 31 October and promising to hold onto money owed to the bloc until terms of the divorce become more favorable to the UK.
In an interview with the Sunday Times, Johnson promised a “One Nation Tory agenda” that he hopes would encourage voters to reject Jeremy Corbyn’s opposition Labour Party and Nigel Farage’s Brexit Party – both of which savaged the Conservatives in the recent European parliamentary elections.
His comments come a day before Monday’s formal deadline for the nomination of Tory leader candidates. Whoever becomes party leader will get the keys to 10 Downing Street.
Johnson, the bookmakers’ favorite, got an overnight boost with the backing of self-dubbed “Brexit Hardman” Steve Baker, who led the Tory party’s pro-Brexit caucus during and after the 2016 referendum.
In his interview, Johnson said he’d change the team negotiating Brexit in Brussels, guarantee the rights of the 3.2 million EU citizens living in the UK and step up preparations for a no-deal departure and get the country ready for what he called “disruption.”
But Johnson’s plan to refuse, for now, to hand over the 39 billion-pound (around 44 billion euros) divorce payment to Brussels was the newspaper’s big splash headline. The EU has repeatedly refused to renegotiate the withdrawal agreement.
“I always thought it was extraordinary that we should agree to write that entire cheque before having a final deal,” he said. “In getting a good deal, money is a great solvent and a great lubricant.”
Britain is technically required to pay to quit the bloc. Brussels says the invoice relates to the countr’s commitments to the EU budget, such payments to EU officials and for certain infrastructure projects, rather than to future arrangements
