Peter from Folkestone called into Nigel Farage’s LBC show to answer whether he believed Boris Johnson would succeed to meeting the October Brexit deadline. He said: “I’m not entirely sure but I think I’ve got a wacky plan to try and prove one way or the other. Apparently you need 25 working days to call an election which would run us past October 31 obviously.”

He continued: “I’m ex-military and I’m familiar with the idea of a conscientious objector.

“If Boris is serious, he can conscientiously object to asking for an extension.

“Then he can vote his against his own government in a no confidence motion and that gets him out of office.

“Because he’s no longer the Prime Minister of the day when that vote takes hold, there is no British government to conclude any treaty on the October 31.”

Peter added: “If there is no British Prime Minister, there’s no British government, there is an election in four or five weeks and then he has a mandate.”

Despite impressing the Brexit Party leader, Mr Farage had to point out that there was an obstacle.

He said: “But there is the Benn Act that has been passed and, by hook or by crook, somebody representing the country would be bound by the law to ask for the extension.”

Peter said: “Well I’m not an expert on the Benn act, Nigel. All I know is that the Benn act forces the Prime Minister to request an extension.

“But if there is no Prime Minister then who could it be?”

The LBC host replied: “Yes but you have to have some form of government.

“You can’t have a complete vacuum with just the Queen in charge, there would have to be some form of interim government and I know a chap who’s quite keen to have a pop at that. His name’s Jeremy Corbyn.”

Peter said: “Right, understood, and that is the risk but if Boris wants to prove his sincerity he has to be willing to take a risk.”

The Folkestone caller continued: “He talks a good game about being serious about putting everything on the line, ‘dying in ditches’ and such.

“If he wants to put everything on the line, put the country first because the country right now is going around the washing machine of uncertainty and we need to get off the spin cycle and get back to work.”

The former UKIP leader then brought up the new idea of outgoing Speaker of the House, John Bercow, acting as the interim Prime Minister instead of Jeremy Corbyn.

He asked Peter how he would feel about this, and was in stitches of laughter at his answer.

Peter said: “I’d rather die in a ditch.”
