Brexit reveal: The one ESSENTIAL election strategy will ensure UK leaves EU by October 31

Commentator Toby Young explained any hopes for a Boris Johnson-Nigel Farage alliance were futile, but there is another tactic the electorate could employ themselves. He said in the event of a general election before the current Brexit deadline, it is “essential” a “tactical voting alliance” is formulated. He told Express.co.uk: “I don’t think there can be a formal pact between the Brexit Party and the Conservative Party, let alone the Labour Party.

“And Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage have ruled that out, and I think we have to take that at face value.

“But I think nonetheless there could be a grassroots, bottom-up, tactical voting alliance.

“Something like what the People’s Vote campaign are saying they want to organise.

“In 100 marginal constituencies they’re going to urge people who want to remain or want a second referendum to vote for the candidate in that constituency that supports remain or a second referendum and is most likely to win, regardless of which party they’re linked to.

“So there ought to be an equivalent campaign on the Brexit side.

“A campaign which tells people who support Brexit regardless of which party they’re members of or which party they normally support saying – this is the Brexit-supporting candidate you should vote for in your constituency if you want us to leave by October 31.

“Given that there are going to be Remain forces who have organised something like that.

“If there’s a general election before we’ve left there has to be the equivalent on the Brexit side.”

Prime Minister Boris Johnson is holding talks with German Chancellor Angela Merkel in a bid to ensure the UK does end up fulfilling its commitment to leave the EU on October 31.

But proceedings didn’t get off to a perfect start after the Prime Miniter mocked Angela Merkel during a press conference in Berlin while standing next to the German Chancellor, leaving some members of the audience to erupt with laughter.

He repeated the German phrase “Wir schaffen das”, which is associated with remarks made by the German Chancellor in 2015, when discussing how Germany would cope with the migration crisis.

The remark, which translates as ‘we can do it’, sparked laughter during the press conference, and the German Chancellor was also seen smirking after the comment from Mr Johnson.

Speaking about Brexit, the Prime Minister said: “I just want to be absolutely clear. With all our German friends and with the German Government.

“We, in the UK, want a deal. We seek a deal. I believe we can get one, we can do it. Wir schaffen das, I think is the phrase.”

Some members of the audience were overheard laughing at the remark from the Prime Minister as Mrs Merkel was seen smirking.

Mr Johnson continued: “Clearly, we cannot accept the current withdrawal agreement.

“Arrangements that either divide the UK, or lock us into the regulatory and trading arrangements or the EU the legal order of the EU without the UK having any say on those matters.

“We do need that backstop removed. But, if we can do that, I am absolutely certain we can move forward together.

“I want to make one crucial point, which is, we in the UK are absolutely dedicated to the protection of the rights of the 3.2million EU nationals in our country who do so much, who contribute so much, and of course, our German friends.”
