Joe Twyman of Delta Poll said Mr Johnson may be able to force through a no deal Brexit in 2020 but added that the European Research Group (ERG) would be integral to this plan. Mr Twyman told Express.co.uk, in the event Boris Johnson wins an election, but with a small majority, he will greatly require the support of the Pro-Brexit group. Mr Twymann insisted that the ERG will be able to insist the Prime Minister renegotiates a new Brexit deal with the possibility of a no deal Brexit back on the table.

The polling expert said: “I don’t think a no deal Brexit is completely off the table.

“If we go back to the second scenario where the Conservatives fail to get a majority of 25 but they do get a majority, let us imagine that Boris Johnson is then beholden to the ERG.

“The ERG can then decide that they don’t like the deal and that they don’t believe it goes far enough for them.

“They could then insist that Boris Johnson goes back and renegotiates.

“They could also insist that part of that negotiation they put a no deal Brexit back on the table.

“Boris Johnson may then get support for a no deal Brexit as an option, as a nuclear option potentially.

“Boris might get that through ahead of negotiations.

“Then if negotiations fail, it could be the case that we crash out with a no deal Brexit once it has been put back on the table as a threat in renegotiations.”

Mr Twyman also explained a slim majority for Boris Johnson could still result in Jeremy Corbyn becoming Prime Minister.

He added Mr Johnson “burning bridges” early into his leadership may prevent him from forming further partnerships to maintain power.

The polling expert said: “It is a big gamble and it means getting a majority is perhaps more difficult than it would appear by just looking at the polling.

“In normal times you would expect that the polling would suggest that it would be time to get a majority.

“But these are not normal times.

“This means that the third version of Brexit could be a situation where Boris Johnson fails to get a majority and ceases to be Prime Minister.

“Instead, Labour could win fewer seats, potentially far fewer seats and go into some sort of partnership with the SNP and the Liberal Democrats.
