Text of the final part of Boris' speech - with apologies to ConHome
Full text at ConHome HERE
So now therefore is the time truly to take back control and make the elegant dignified and grateful exit the country voted for. This is the moment – and there is time – to chuck Chequers, to scrap the Commission’s constitutionally abominable Northern Ireland backstop, to use the otherwise redundant and miserable “implementation period” to the end of 2020 to negotiate the Supercanada FTA, to invest in all the customs procedures that may be needed to ensure continued frictionless trade, and to prepare much more vigorously for a WTO deal.
And if we get it right, then the opportunities are immense. It is not just that we can do free trade deals. In so many growth areas of the economy this country is already light years ahead. Tech, data, bioscience, financial services, you name it. We can use our regulatory freedom to intensify those advantages.
And of course our European friends know that is possible – and that is exactly why they want to constrain us. Yet I would argue that it is actually in their interests too, to have the fifth biggest economy in the world, on their doorstep, acting as a continuing brake and caution to the over- regulatory instincts that have held the EU back for so long. Instead of being relentlessly homogenised, we can actually learn from each other again, in the spirit of friendly emulation that inspired the renaissance of European civilisation.
If we get this right, it can be win-win for both sides of the Channel.
If we get it wrong – if we bottle Brexit now – believe me, the people of this country will find it hard to forgive.
If we get it wrong, if we proceed with this undemocratic solution, if we remain half-in half out, we will protract this toxic tedious business that is frankly so off-putting to sensible middle of the road people who want us to get on with their priorities.
If we cheat the electorate – and Chequers is a cheat – we will escalate the sense of mistrust. We will give credence to those who cry betrayal, and I am afraid we will make it more likely that the ultimate beneficiary of the chequers deal will be the far right in the form of UKIP.
And therefore the far Left in the form of Jeremy Corbyn – a man who takes money from Iranian tv, who can barely bring himself to condemn the Russian state for the Salisbury atrocity, who indulges anti-semitism, and who by opportunistically committing himself to the misery and farce of a second referendum, has finally revealed himself to be the patsy of the EU as well.
We cannot allow it to happen.
We must not allow it to happen.
And so for one last time, I urge our friends in government to deliver what the people voted for, to back Theresa May in the best way possible, by softly, quietly, and sensibly backing her original plan. And in so doing to believe in conservatism and to believe in Britain.
Because if we get it wrong we will be punished. And if we get it right we can have a glorious future.
This government will then be remembered for having done something brave and right and remarkable and in accordance with the wishes of the people.

BoJo-it's an historic moment, let's be bold! Let's get behind Ms dismay and kick the problem down the road to 2020, by supporting a totally unworkable formula.
I think it is time to give the job to Arlene Foster, the conmen are obviously incapable.
Did he really refer to UKIP as being on the "far-right"?
As a long time kipper, I take that both as an affront and as an indication that Boris is play acting, something that I have been highly suspicious of since he very publicly couldn't decide whether to plump for "leave" or "remain".
Whilst it is true that Batten seems to have lost sight of what UKIP is for, his apparent new trajectory has NOTHING to do with anything that is "right-wing". Currently the most prominent right-winger that I am aware of in British politics would be Steve Baker MP, the former assistant to David Davis at the "Brexit Department" of the current apology for a government.
Picking on a minority group like those that cleave to Islam, is not part of a right wing tendency, let alone "far right". Such childish and potentially murderous behaviour is far closer to leftish ideas like anti-Semitism, anti-wealth, or anti-success, as espoused by a large proportion of the current Labour party. It is firmly on the left side of political ideology.
The only reason that it is erroneously referred to as "far right" is because the far left controls the media and the education system and what they refer to as radical thought. Picking on a minority, albeit one as significant as Islam is plausibly to the right of socialism, where anyone who does not believe that the party is always right is as they state... on the right, or far right: i.e. the difference between total control, and loss of control to ideology that is foreign like religion. The left controls the lexicon.
For the far-left, the enemy are folk with their own money and the associated power that that gives to some people. It is why the Jewish folk, who tend to be very insular and more wealthy than other minorities are ritually abused by the left in general, and something to be highly suspicious of, something to be referred to as right wing or far right.
They have absolutely no concept of what the right really is, none at all!
The right simply believes that the individual is sovereign.
As for Batten, I am disgusted by his current trajectory, the day that Robinson is actually admitted to my party, is the day that I throw in my card, as indeed are many of the more prominent kippers on a seemingly daily basis, the most recent being William Dartmouth.
Leave is right wing, Remain is left.
The antics of the Labour leadership, who are failing to grasp where their conservative northern support really stems from, which is individualist and based on success through hard work and trust in family and tribe... is completely deluded. These are natural right wingers and Labour is losing them. And so Batten has apparently chosen to follow the Labour cretins and pick on a minority to improve his party's chance of power... Very dumb, but not remotely right wing.
The far right would be, to pick some figures from history, Adam Smith, or Hayek, or Von Mises. None of whom could agree with anyone enough to comprise anything as organised as a party, they are never more united than part of a tendency.
Anyway, Boris is a dangerous clot... The CONservative party could solve their current dilemma by crowning David Davis until Brexit is achieved. Boris could be directed by him, JRM would be a very good member of his cabinet and a potential future Tory Party leader.
right writes - Yes, quite an astonishing thing to say. My reading of his meaning though is that UKIP has the *potential* to be the home of the far right if chequers goes through - a potential which I think Batten is not resisting too strongly. Making a home in your party for an ex EDL member is one thing and may have mitigating circumstances - making EDL views at home in UKIP is quite another, and something that Farage would never have permitted.
This is the passionate speech that BoJo should have made in Parliament, back in June when he resigned from the Cabinet. He talks a very good talk, but when it really matters, he fails to take the action necessary to deliver.
We saw that when, against the odds, we won the EU Referendum and he failed to grab the ball when it came out of the scrum. We saw it again, when he failed to savage Treason May in June.
He, like David Miliband, is too cautious to stick the knife in when he had the chance. And like David Miliband, he will never wear the crown.
He is right though: if the Conservative Party stitches us up with the Chequers betrayal a sizeable proportion of natural conservatives will never forgive them. The assault on our so-called democracy and Brexit voters by the Establishment over the past few years has been very illuminating ..... and if they think we're going to play by their rules now they've delivered a sham Brexit, they're in for a shock.
Sadly he is right to hold back from trying to get rid of May. The numbers are not (yet) right for a leadership challenge. Whether Boris is motivated by personal ambition or/and the best interests of the UK doesn't matter if he cannot get someone else in as leader.
Personally I think it is becoming more and more likely that we will leave with no trade deal but with a set of separate agreements about legal issues between the UK and the rEU.
I recall, prior to one G.E, a newspaper printing a 'who you should support' quiz that offered multiple questions, the answers to which pointed you towards the party you 'should' vote for.
Questions such as: do you object to mass immigration? do you believe in self determination? do you think multiculturalism is a success? etc
I answered as I though many 'populists' would and the party they suggested I should support was the BNP................................................
Clearly anyone, and I mean anyone (TR included) who has a vested and clear interest in 'self, country and culture' is a rabid far right nutjob to be avoided and denigrated at every opportunity.
This is propaganda at its worst. BoJo is culpable - as are the MSM as a whole - in ALIENATING those who he should be encouraged to back him by his scurrilous claims of UKIPs supposed political leaning.
If the mainstream parties won't pick up on ANY of the populist concerns then they deserve to be ousted regardless of what may replace them. The mainstream parties COULD do many of the things UKIP propose and, for the life of me, I fail to understand why they simply HIDE from these obvious facts/needs. The only explanation is that they are all part of the same Globalist agenda.
So, what precisely is it about TR that makes UKIPs (potential) acceptance of him as a member so outrageous? Should we NOT defend the innocent? Should we NOT refute the tide of Islam? Should we NOT have a strong belief in our country?
Or should we, as the mainstreams do, STFU to avoid upsetting anyone?
Try looking up the definition of POPULISM some time. It doesn't mention 'far right'.
Dave G.
Spot on. When BJ smears all of us who wish to retain our own culture as "far right" you know he is full of shite.
Boris is part of the problem, not the cure. The only way to get what we want is to withdraw all support for the useless tories and the scum party. They need to go and die somewhere.
@ Dave_G
Arguably Labour and the Conservatives (and similar parties elsewhere) have been pulled towards the left, and that has left the mainstream Labour and the mainstream Conservatives behind and unrepresented. The mainstream is now judged by the main parties to be 'not us' and therefore they must be extreme.
Hence Brexit and hence Trump and the political party upheavals on the Continent. Whether they draw politics back to the mainstream remains to be seen. The Establishment is not in favour.
The time for Boris to have made such speeches was before resigning and not having betrayed the entire UK (Remainers, Leavers and 'wtf is brexit, like?'ers alike) by signing up for Chequers. If he is now firmly attaching his colours to the mast it is only with blu-tack. Mind you he does cut a fine figure in Cameron type shorts I suppose, so chances are he'll be PM soon...as soon as he has finished chillaxing.
The problem is the Tory MPs:

What DeeDee99 said: "He talks a very good talk, but when it really matters, he fails to take the action necessary to deliver"
That. Exactly that. When the chips are down, he's frit.

I take it you've read the Qran then? Having worked with many who 'cleave to Islam' in an 'I was born into it and don't take it too seriously sort of way' then there is little threat. However, the injunction to Jihad in a broader sense is not too far away for many. Being aware of that is being aware of the danger to individual freedom; surely a right wing concern?
Just reviewed the May speech.I thought it was poor listening. But on reading it isn't that bad. Would actually have ben quite good.
If it wasn't so terribly unlikely she believed in any of it.
BQ, For Theresa May it is words, words, words. She says: "I am working to get a good deal for the United Kingdom". What I mean by a "good" deal is to Leave. What she means by a "good" deal is to keep us subject to as many EU competences as she can get away with.
I , for one, will look forward to the Festival Of The United Kingdom. (buggered up the bolding first time round )
@Wessexboy...
I am assuming that you have made a study of missing the point?
Bearing in mind that you are claiming to have read the koran an' all.
But, here, let me reiterate just for the hard of reading. I am not suggesting that any minority, however significant is blameless, those that cleave to a particular set of rules might well be sheeplike, I never suggested anything different.
What I was saying was that it is not right wing (or far right) to pick those people out, find fault and or make war on them. They cannot help it.
I suppose if there is a chink in the armour of my argument, it is that I am picking on lefties... Although... saying that, in the current environment, one could hardly describe those sheep as a minority.
Boris comment on Ukip far right - it is a party conference - don't be so sensitive - far left/right it really does not matter.
Ketch--The FUK would be even better if it featured the public hanging for treason of all the leading remainiacs--with an exception to include yourself as a special favour. Sort of a nobody traitor being picked to be up there with all the big fish of betrayal and support for Global Elite tyranny.
Nothing to do with sensitivity mate.
I am a simple man, with a simple message.
I don't mind being far right, I even call myself right-writes, not because I am always right :) but because I "identify" as being on the right of the political spectrum as described in the 18th century by "Jacques Cousteau", in relation to the French Court, and I write about it.
"Those that sat to the left of the monarch believe that something MUST be done for the poor...
Those that sat to the right of him, subscribe to the concept that nothing CAN be done for the poor".
So... those that use political devices like singling out villains to blame for the plight of the poor, those that wish to fight for a particular minority, those that wish to smear people that do not believe that people require their special kind of interference... And most importantly, those that regard it as their democratic right to stick their filthy hands in my pocket and steal from me, are evil lefties. Socialism is the measles of society, and socialism, national socialism, and all other isms, except individualism are like a filthy pox and the last refuge of the scoundrel.
So "tph" try not be so naive to believe that I am being sensitive...
THIS IS A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH!
@right-writes
Agree with much of what you post here, as in ' Socialism is the measles of society, and socialism, national socialism, and all other isms, except individualism are like a filthy pox and the last refuge of the scoundrel.'
There are quite a few of us who see Islamism as a similar threat, and not too easy to separate from the raw doctrines espoused by its text(s) and, just as in Socialism, possibly a matter of life and death.
So, as a simple man with a simple message, please be kinder to the hard of reading and understanding. If a large and growing minority is similarly intent on destroying everything we value, then should we not point it out, and be seen to say so?
I take it you've read the Qran then? -Wessex boy
It would surprise me to learn that many here have NOT read the Quran. Some probably multiple times and in varying languages...maybe even in the original arabic.
@Wessexboy
Is Islamism an ism that isn't individualism?
From what I wrote, it looks like I think it is!
My point, and you seem to be wilfully missing it, is that it is not right wing, or "far right" to object to Theresa May not delivering the result of the largest democratic mandate in our history.
Boris just throws the gybe out, and virtually damns his insincere and devious waffle about Brexit, he clearly has no intention of doing anything... Watch him shuffle through the lobby in support of the Maybot!
@right-writes
I agree with you wholeheartedly on your main point. We may disagree on Islam, ism or not!
Fifty years ago in the UK there was only a small chance that you would be blown up by a bomb. But not zero. And if you were, the perpetrator was almost certainly an Irishman of the PIRA.
Today in the UK there is only a small chance that you will be blown up by a bomb. But not zero. And if you are, the perpetrator is almost certainly a (self-proclaimed) Muslim.
Were we prevented from having opinions about the Irish and the PIRA 50 years ago? No. Are we prevented from having opinions about Muslims today? Yes. Did normal British people think all the Irish were to blame? No. Do normal UKIP members think all Muslims are to blame? No. But being "prevented" from freely speaking about a real and serious problem does not make the problem go away.
By "prevented" I mean being excoriated by the supposed great and the good; marginalised as ultra far-right racists blah blah. Rather than slagging off UKIP and Gerard Batten in ignorance please watch Lord Pearson pointing out a few home truths:

BoJo is an icompetent lying fool - almost as bad as Corbyn, or has no-one noticed?
Garden Bridge & Arab-fly Dangleway are his legacy in London, plus a useless Bus.
And you want this wanker to be in charge?
DO GROW UP.
Brexit, wil automatically mean a Corbyn / Maduro state for Brtain.
DO GROW UP.
G Tingey, BoJo is an intelligent and honourable politician in an age of lying fools - such as Corbyn, or has no-one noticed?
There are dozens of BoJo's achievements which bettered life in London: from getting rid of "bendy-buses", to closing down the GLA office in Venezuela, to bringing back Christmas, to reducing knife-crime by 30%, to holding the biggest ever St George's day event, the list is almost endless.
And you want this Sadick Khan wanker to be in charge?
DO GROW UP.
Brexit will automatically mean a Corbyn / Maduro state for Britain disappears back to the 1970s where it belongs, before Margaret Thatcher sorted out this country.
DO GROW UP.
