The PM says moving on from Brexit will enable the country to “unleash its potential”
The UK cannot afford to “squander” more time deciding whether and how to leave the EU, Boris Johnson will has in his first major speech of the election.
He argued that ending the current “groundhoggery” will deliver a big economic boost and enable the UK to focus on creating the jobs of the future and tackling climate change.
He has said a Tory victory will ensure the UK exits the EU on 31 January.
Labour has said the PM’s deal is flawed and is promising another referendum.
Jeremy Corbyn has said he would negotiate a better deal on the terms of the UK’s exit and give the public the choice of whether to accept it or remain in the EU in a public vote next summer.
Mr Johnson will return to his core “get Brexit done” message on Wednesday after spending much of the past three days dealing with the fallout from the severe flooding in South Yorkshire and the East Midlands.
