Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal will ensure that Britain takes back control of its money, its borders and its trade. Boris Johnson’s deal will get Brexit done immediately, ending the large annual payments to the EU budget, so we can unleash Britain’s potential and focus on our nation's priorities, like the NHS.
This new deal ensures that the UK will be an independent country. Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal removes ECJ jurisdiction over our relationship with the EU, allowing our own courts to enforce our own laws.
Our deal takes back control of our borders, ending free movement and unlimited EU migration. Overall immigration will fall as we will develop a new and fairer system that will keep criminals out, while ensuring we continue to welcome talented people from around the world. Our deal will keep our country safe, whilst welcoming the brightest and the best.
UK law will no longer be ruled by the EU's Treaties, instead our elected politicians will write our laws, listening to the British people with our laws being enforced by British courts.
This deal sets us on the right path to a Free Trade Agreement with the EU. It will ensure that we are in full control of our national life – including foreign policy, security and defence. Any decisions regarding cooperation on foreign policy, security and defence, or any other matter with the EU, will be a sovereign choice for the UK. We will leave the Single Market and the customs union. There will be no political alignment with the EU.
This deal means the whole UK will leave the customs union. This will strengthen our union, making it clear that EU control is coming to an end and will allow us to strike free trade deals, as one United Kingdom, with countries all over the world.
This deal sets the path to a real Brexit, based on a free trade deal.Our deal ends the EU’s political control over the UK. The UK will become an independent country and the future trade agreement will be one between equals. We will take back control of our money, our laws and our trade, ending vast annual payments to the EU and ending the jurisdiction of the ECJ. The Implementation Period will only last until the end of December 2020.
This deal is the fastest way to get Brexit done. If we have a majority Conservative Government on 12 December, we will be able to get Brexit done immediately leaving the EU by January at the latest. The alternative, an extension of our EU membership, would be a disaster, paying billions more to the EU, accepting ECJ jurisdiction and obeying damaging EU laws.
Not passing this deal could result in us staying in the EU, possibly forever. Voting for any other party risks Jeremy Corbyn becoming Prime Minister - he will spend months dithering and delaying, whilst holding two further referendums. A vote for Boris Johnson will ensure that we get Brexit done immediately, allowing us to focus on our priorities like the NHS.
Commenting, Therese Coffey, Secretary of State for the Department of Work and Pensions, said:
“Corbyn’s Pension Tax will see ten million savers facing a huge bill forcing them to delay their retirement for almost three and a half years.
“This is just one of the ways a Corbyn government would hammer hardworking people on top of his plans to hike up taxes by £2,400 a year, as well as the cost of his plan for unlimited immigration and the chaos of 2020 being dominated by two more referendums – one on Brexit and another on Scottish independence.
“Only Boris Johnson and the Conservative Party can get Brexit done with a deal, get parliament working again and turbocharge our economy to unleash Britain’s potential.”
