Writing in the Telegraph he spoke also of the attitude of the opposition parties and their “true anti-democratic colours”. The Prime Minister added: “They are united in wanting to cancel the referendum result Labour, SNP, Liberal Democrats and overturn the will of the people. They are so desperate to get round the electorate that they will not even agree to an election.

“They have turned it down twice.”

Mr Johnson spoke of his resolve when he said: “Despite the Remainer attempt to crush Brexit, I am working flat out to ensure we leave on October 31.

“Let us be in no doubt as to what has really happened in Parliament in the last couple of weeks.

“Let there be no ambiguity about the underlying motive.

“A large number of MPs, though by no means all, are simply trying to crush Brexit.

“In spite of all that they promised, and voted for, they just want to stop this country from ever leaving the European Union.

“This isn’t about trying to block a so-called ‘no deal’ Brexit.”

Mr Johnson state that such a claim is utterly disingenuous and that rebel MP’s and opposition MPs are in fact trying to stop Brexit altogether.

He claims that the MPs who are opposing his prorogation of Parliament “have engineered this country’s biggest ever exercise in pointless parliamentary procrastination”.

He added: “They hope that Brexit can be somehow delayed beyond Oct 31, and that the calls for a second referendum will, so they deceive themselves, become overwhelming, and Brexit would be at least temporarily abandoned.”

The Prime Minister claims that it goes deeper and is more crucial than a “dither and delay’ exercise.

He said: “It is worse than that.

“This is about democracy.

“The people of this country were asked to vote on whether they wanted to stay in the EU, or leave.

“It was right and proper that they should be asked.”

Mr Johnson laid out the claim that the EU has been altered from its original structure of the mid-Seventies.

He said: “It has become a political union, with a conscious and self-proclaimed ambition to take ever more powers to central federal institutions in Brussels, and to build a European political “identity”.

“Naturally, there will be many who regard this project as a high ideal.

“But as a system of government, it is even according to its supporters remote, bureaucratic, costly, opaque and its signature economic project, the euro, has had harsh consequences for many member states.”

Despite this, the Prime Minister said he was “cautiously optimistic” of getting a Brexit deal, but the UK would leave by the deadline “whatever happens”.

EU chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier said he did not have “reasons to be optimistic” over getting a deal”.

Mr Johnson will meet him and European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker on Monday for talks.

During the PM’s speech, at the Convention of the North in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, he was heckled by an audience member who told him to “get back to Parliament” and “sort out the mess that you have created”.
