He added: "Even if Boris Johnson becomes party leader and prime minister, the best we are likely to get from these Tories is a rehash of Mrs May’s appalling Withdrawal Agreement; a warmed-over version of her worst deal in history.
"There seems little chance of the Conservatives delivering on Boris’s firm promise that we will leave the EU on 31st October."
