Boris Johnson dodges question over cocaine use

Daily Mail  

The Conservative leadership race is ramping up ahead of nominations opening on Monday as the contenders continue to declare their credentials for the top job. On Brexit, he has committed to keeping the October 31 deadline even if that means leaving without a deal and said he would step up no-deal preparations. He has said he would keep a no-deal Brexit on the table, but warned it could be 'political suicide' for the Conservatives as Parliament would force a general election. He has set out a 'pro-business economic plan' to take on Mr Corbyn's 'Marxist message' and said he would replace VAT after Brexit with a 'lower, simpler' sales tax. Key quote: 'Candidates that are advocating a no-deal Brexit as well as tax cuts will - in one afternoon in October - lose us a reputation that we have spent 300 years building up.'
