Boris Johnson vows to outfox Brexit-wreckers with ‘fancy footwork’ amid hopes of clinching last-ditch deal

BORIS Johnson has vowed to outfox Brexit wreckers with “fancy footwork” amid renewed hopes of a last-ditch deal.

The PM has worked out some “nifty” moves to sidestep legal roadblocks by the rabble alliance of Remainers.

But he also received encouraging signals as he hit the phones in a determined effort to get Britain out of the EU in 25 days.

Mr Johnson was further boosted as Government whips said he may have enough backing to get his deal through the Commons — and used it to persuade EU leaders to get on board.

But he won’t delay our exit if they don’t. Writing in The Sun on Sunday, the PM said: “They should be under no illusions or misapprehensions.

“There will be no more dither. No more delay.”

He was given a glimmer of hope when Dutch PM Mark Rutte failed to rule out a deal being struck at a crunch meeting of EU leaders next week.

It comes as senior aides identified two major loopholes in Labour MP Hilary Benn’s “Surrender Act” which compels the PM to delay Brexit.

A source said: “The Remainers have taken legal and procedural steps to thwart the referendum result but we’ve our own fancy footwork which we’ll deploy if necessary.”

It also emerged that the PM will refuse to resign if rebels try to avoid an election by forcing him out to make way for a so-called “national unity” government.

And Culture Secretary Nicky Morgan completed her transformation from Remain, saying she’d back a No Deal if talks fail.

Parliament will be suspended on Tuesday to prepare for the Queen’s Speech on October 14.
