The Brexit Party MEP questioned if Mr Johnson would deliver a “clean Brexit”. Ms Phillips said: “Boris has been shown to be devoid of any principles throughout his life in politics, who will say anything to anyone if it helps his political career.

“There’s a sneaking suspicion that he backed Brexit as the best route to getting the keys to Number 10. “Once a fan of the EU’s single market, he voted for Theresa May’s surrender treaty in Parliament. “Now he wants us to believe that he backs a clean Brexit that the 17.4 million Leavers voted for.” Ms Phillips also criticised the Brexit deal negotiated by Theresa May, which was rejected by MPs three times.

The Brexit Party MEP questioned if Mr Johnson would deliver a “clean Brexit”

It comes after Mr Johnson met German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron earlier this week in a bid to persuade them to drop the controversial Irish backstop, which proved the main obstacle to passing Mrs May’s deal. The Brexit Party MEP said: “The Withdrawal Agreement would make the UK a vassal state and keeps the UK closely tied to EU law. This is not Brexit by any stretch of the imagination.” Ms Phillips, who is the Brexit Party’s candidate for Southampton Itchen, added that they were gearing up to “fight every seat” in a general election.

Writing for the Daily Telegraph, the Brexit Party leader said: “Johnson implies that if the backstop was removed in its current form, the Withdrawal Agreement would pass through the House of Commons with his support.

“Yet even without the backstop, this would be the worst negotiated deal in British history.” Mr Farage added that he has always had a “nagging doubt” in the back of his mind about Mr Johnson after he voted for Mrs May’s divorce deal in the third attempt to get it through the Commons despite previously insisting it would lead to Britain becoming a vassal state. Meanwhile Brexit Party Chairman Richard Tice insisted they are the only party who can deliver on the 2016 referendum result.

He said: “With or without the hated backstop, the so-called Withdrawal Agreement is still the worst deal in history. “It simply does not deliver the clean-break Brexit the British people voted for more than three years ago and the Brexit Party will fight it tooth and nail. “The Prime Minister’s recent letter to the President of the European Council confirms what we have been warning. Boris and the Tories cannot be trusted to deliver a proper Brexit.
