		</div><p>Boris Johnson appears increasingly confident that MPs will not block a no-deal Brexit after UK Cabinet minister Amber Rudd said it had to remain in the “armoury” of the new British prime minister.</p>
<p>The Tory leadership frontrunner said MPs had “time after time” failed to take the prospect of a no-deal Brexit off the table.</p>
<p>Mr Johnson has insisted he wants a deal with Brussels but is prepared to walk away on October 31 without one if necessary.</p>
<p>He highlighted comments from Ms Rudd, one of the leading figures in the 2016 Remain campaign and a supporter of Jeremy Hunt’s leadership bid.</p>
<p>Former prime minister John Major has threatened to drag Mr Johnson through the courts if he attempts to suspend Parliament in order to prevent MPs blocking a no-deal exit from the European Union.</p>
<p>But at a Tory leadership hustings in Maidstone Mr Johnson said “common sense” would prevail and MPs would support his efforts to separate the UK from the EU.</p>
<p><em>“When John Major talks about proroguing and all that legal wrangling and what have you … I think actually, that common sense is breaking out.”</em></p>
<p>He added that “time after time MPs say that they are going to try to take no deal off the table and, lo and behold, it remains on the table”.</p>
<p><em>“It’s a pretty adhesive sort of table.”</em></p>

<p>Mr Johnson dismissed suggestions it was “fanciful” that the October 31 deadline could be met and insisted the country could be prepared to leave on that date.</p>
<p><em>“We will be ready on October 31 and we’ve got to get on and do it.”</em></p>
<p>In response to questions about his leadership style, Mr Johnson insisted he was a “glutton for detail”.</p>
<p>He played down speculation that he might call a snap election if he took office, insisting “no, of course not”, in part because the Tory party needed more cash.</p>
<p><em>“There will be, eventually, an election in 2022.</em></p>
<p><em>“But before then what we must do is get our great party ready again, we must fill our coffers flush with cash and we must put out – once again – with greater power and clarity and conviction, our belief in modern, one nation, conservatism.”</em></p>
<p>Mr Hunt warned that “the big risk” facing the party was “if we approach Brexit in a headstrong way, we end up not with Brexit but with an election”.</p>
<p><em>“There is a big risk with that of, not a Conservative prime minister, but a Marxist prime minister,”</em> he said.</p>
<p><em>“This is a situation where choosing someone who can pick our way through Brexit, get the details right, negotiate that deal but make careful preparations for no deal in case that doesn’t work – this is truly the quickest way that we will deliver Brexit.”</em></p>
<p>Mr Hunt said it was a relief that EU Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier did not secure the nomination for Brussels’ top job as the European Commission president.</p>
<p>And he suggested that the EU had stopped offering concessions to Theresa May because it was apparent she could not get a deal through Parliament.</p>
<p><em>“They didn’t believe that Theresa May would be able to deliver Parliament for any agreement that was made so they thought it wasn’t worth making the concessions,”</em> he said.</p>
<p>Mr Hunt said that by involving the DUP and all wings of the Tory party in his negotiating team <em>“I will be demonstrating that any proposal that we made to the EU is one that we could actually deliver through Parliament.”</em></p>
