I think it would be very bizarre if the EU should decide on their own... if they decided to impose tariffs on goods coming from the UK it would be... a return to Napoleon's continental system.

I do not talk about stuff involving my family, my loved ones, and there's a very good reason for that. That is that, if you do, you drag them into things that, really, is, in a way that is not fair on them.

My pledge is to come out of the EU at Halloween on 31 October. by Boris Johnson

My pledge is to come out of the EU at Halloween on 31 October.

Let me tell you, there are abundant, abundant technical fixes that can be introduced to make sure that you don't have to have checks at the border.

We have a choice to make now, and that means choosing between options that actually exist, it is very painful to vote for this deal. But I hope we can now work together to remedy its defects.

The euro is a calamitous project, it will limp on with sclerotic growth rates, it will eventually blow up but I wouldn't care to bet when.

I am not by any means an ultra-eurosceptic. In some ways, I am a bit of a fan of the European Union. If we did not have one, we would invent something like it.

Brexit is becoming soft to the point of disintegration.

Take out, excise, surgically remove the backstop, OK? thats the problem, thats the lobster pot, thats the trap that keeps us locked in the customs union and means we have this terrible Hobsons choice between, as it were, sacrificing Northern Ireland orremaining subject to the E.U. without having any say in the E.U.

It is not the right way forward, there's a better deal to be done, there's no point in leaving European Union if you end up being run by European Union.

It is vassal state stuff, chuck it out. by Boris Johnson

It is vassal state stuff, chuck it out.

To present the nation with a choice between two deeply unattractive outcomes, vassalage and chaos, is a failure of British statecraft on a scale unseen since the Suez crisis.

Given that the reality of Brexit has turned out to be so far from what was once promised, the democratic thing to do is to give the public the final say.
