Do a deal or it will be no-deal when Boris wins next election, Jeremy Hunt warns
The Tory leadership runner-up issued a message to EU leaders: ‘If they think this is bad, just wait until what happens after Boris wins an election’.

The European Union has been urged to do a Brexit deal with Britain “before it’s too late” or face Boris Johnson taking the country out without a deal if he wins the next election, former foreign secretary Jeremy Hunt has said.
“If Boris wins, which is what the polls are saying at the moment, and he comes back with a majority, that British government will be much less willing to compromise,” the ex-cabinet minister told BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg.
“That will make no-deal much more likely and that would make future relations between the UK and the EU much, much more problematic.”

In a pointed warning, he said: “If they think this is bad, just wait until what happens after Boris wins an election.”
Meanwhile, Business Secretary Andrea Leadsom has said the Government will not accept a backstop on Northern Ireland in any form.
Speaking on ITV’s Peston programme, Ms Leadsom said the backstop would not be entertained by a Johnson Government even for a limited time.
Mr Hunt, the runner-up in the Tory leadership race also accused European leaders of “miscalculations” in their dealings with Britain, and urged them: “Do something now before it’s too late.”
Mr Hunt’s comments will be read as an endorsement for Mr Johnson’s “two borders” proposals for removing the backstop from the Withdrawal Agreement by even the more moderate wing of the Conservative Party.
The PM wants Northern Ireland to approve plans to keep the six counties in line with EU rules on goods and agriculture, but take it out of the European customs union along with the rest of the UK – a move that would require checks on cargo moving within the island of Ireland.
Irish prime minister Leo Varadkar has said he is opposed to Northern Ireland being in a different customs territory from the south.

Mr Johnson is due to meet Mr Varadkar for what was described as a “private meeting” on Thursday at a location in the north west of England.
