The Sun urges every MP to back Boris Johnson’s deal on Saturday and get Brexit done

BORIS Johnson, against all odds and in defiance of his sneering critics, has pulled off a vastly-improved deal. The Sun urges every MP: Back it tomorrow and get Brexit done.

It is immeasurably better than Theresa May’s. And it will get us out of the EU in less than two weeks, as the PM has promised.

Our divided, paralysed country is desperate for Brexit to be sorted. Boris’s deal will do it.

But he has a mountain to climb in the Commons. The DUP are suddenly opposed. But the new arrangements for Northern Ireland seem entirely reasonable. They still have 24 hours to come to their senses.

The Tory ERG group have no reason to cry foul. They have been kept informed line by line — and in Boris they at last have a genuine Brexit believer. Plus, this truly looks their last chance.

It is time too for Labour MPs in Leave seats, who have repeatedly claimed they want a deal, to finally vote for one. Yes, we know they are terrified of Corbyn and Momentum’s revenge — but it is time now to do right by their VOTERS and our democracy.

Triumphant Boris pulls off miracle Brexit deal

The same goes for the ex-Tory rebels. They always said they only opposed No Deal. Fine. Vote, then, for this one. The rest of Labour and the Lib-Dems are beyond hope, making fools of themselves with their exaggerated criticisms yesterday. But the public is listening less and less. As this week’s landmark survey showed, Britain just wants the referendum result enacted NOW.

The EU could all but secure Boris his victory by officially refusing to grant an extension to our October 31 deadline — thus killing off the Benn “Surrender Act” and the second referendum plot.
Most MPs would then prefer the deal to No Deal or revoking Brexit.

HIDEOUS UNCERTAINTY

We urge the EU to do it. It makes sense for them and us. No one but the most stubborn Remainers wants to prolong the hideous uncertainty affecting our lives, businesses and economies. An extension will do so for months, even years.

And both the deals the EU has painstakingly put together over more than three years will have come to nothing. But whether or not Boris triumphs tomorrow he has already spectacularly proved the doubters, Remainer pundits and conspiracy theorists wrong.

Remember the fantasy about the negotiations being a smokescreen — that the PM was steering Britain towards No Deal to enrich his hedge fund mates? Remember how the EU would never reopen the Withdrawal Agreement? That the hated Irish backstop was set in stone? That Ireland would never negotiate with Britain directly? All of it was rubbish.

The deal was rewritten and significantly improved after a one-to-one summit between Boris and Irish PM Leo Varadkar. The backstop is dead. Boris has landed a great deal which secures what the 17.4million majority voted for in 2016, with Britain out of the EU and its central institutions and courts, free to do global trade deals.

Take it. End the agony. People are crying out for resolution on October 31. They will be aghast and outraged if our dithering politicians instead choose to snatch this golden chance away.
