Businessman and Brexit Party MEP Ben Habib insisted that Boris Johnson could continue to slide on his Brexit promises and rehash Theresa May’s deal without the backstop. During an interview with Express.co.uk Mr Habib revealed he and the Brexit Party would be willing to bring down the Government in a general election and have Corbyn as the next Prime Minister to prevent a return of the much-hated withdrawal agreement. Mr Habib said: “It seems to me that Boris is already backsliding.

“And if that is his approach and there is an election with that kind of backdrop to his approach then we the Brexit Party will fill a candidate in every single seat and we will hold him to account. “We will take him to the precipice and if necessary push him over it. “If that means a Corbyn government, it needn’t mean a Corbyn government, but if it was to happen so be it. “At least a Corbyn government could be unelected, got rid of later.

He added: “I’m not pro-Jeremy Corbyn in any way.
