BORIS Johnson has revealed his fast and furious plan to get Brexit wrapped up by Christmas if he wins a decisive General Election victory on December 12.

The Prime Minister admitted he is driven by deep-seated rage over the way Remainer rebels colluded to stop the UK leaving the EU.

Boris Johnson, speaking from a room in No10, urges Sun readers to vote Tory on the December 12 election

And he warned it will be full speed ahead if he is returned to Downing Street with a clear majority on December 12.

Mr Johnson declared: Weve got a deal thats ready to go and if we can get it right with a new Parliament we will move quickly.

Our new MPs will come back the following day and we will bang it through. Well get Brexit done very, very fast and avoid another infinite period of dither and delay.

In an interview with The Sun on Sunday, BoJo talked passionately of his determination to pitchfork Brexit off our back and end three years of trauma and tedium.

He spoke frankly of his own frustrations and ambitions in a revealing and wide-ranging account of his testing first 100 days in power.

But as he reached a landmark where most leaders celebrate their early achievements in office, Mr Johnson faces a titanic battle for political survival.

Speaking in an oak-panelled No10 dining room, he told how he:

  • Binned two letters from MPs in a rage after they instructed him to seek a fresh Brexit delay from EU chiefs;
  • Only obeyed their demands after being threatened with a mass strike by civil servants;
  • Tried desperately to avoid calling an election but was left with no choice when he realised Remainers had him over a barrel;
  • Abandoned his morning runs over the huge number of police bodyguards required;
  • Plans to deploy girlfriend Carrie Symonds as a secret weapon in the General Election campaign;
  • Promises to deliver prosperity and not austerity if he is re-elected.

Mr Johnson also said SORRY for failing to deliver his pledge to leave the EU by October 31.

He said: Its a matter of deep regret. All we need to do now is get on and do it.

He is wary of setting deadlines but if returned to office he wants to get his Brexit deal passed in December.

‘DEEP REGRET’

Sitting beside a marble bust of Sir Isaac Newton, Mr Johnson spoke of his determination to defy gravity and finish the job. He said: Weve got a deal thats oven-ready.

Weve just got to put it in at gas mark four, give it 20 minutes and Bobs your uncle.

Theres only one way to get Brexit done and theres only one way to get it done fast and thats to vote for us, vote for the Conservatives.

The PM brands the Labour leader a political fossil as he warns: ‘Vote ANY other party and you get Corbyn’
BoJo says sorry for not taking Britain out of the EU on October 31 and says Remainer machinations left him with no choice but to call poll

The risk of voting for any other party and Im afraid it is ANY other party is you just get Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Party or a chaotic coalition led by Corbyn.

Mr Johnson attacked the Labour leader and his crazy, outdated Marxist ideas.

BoJo said: With Corbyn, chaos, confusion and uncertainty stretch out until the crack of doom, not just politically but also economically.

Hes a political coelacanth. Hes a fossil. Hes been dredged up in the nets of some super-trawler from the Marianas Trench of politics.

Theyve found this thing that belongs to a previous epoch of political thought. He genuinely thinks its a good idea to take huge sums of money away from ordinary people and take them into the state and then spend them.

He voted against 7,800 of tax cuts for ordinary people. This is a guy who only last week was calling for rich people to be vilified.

Well, the top one per cent pay 30 per cent of income tax. I want rich people to pay loads of tax, to contribute to our society but I dont want them driven out of Britain.

I dont want anyone who is aspirational, who wants to start their own business, to be persecuted. Its crazy stuff.

LABOUR ‘LIES’

Mr Johnson is braced for a tsunami of Labour lies to scare voters that the Tories plan to sell-off the NHS to profiteers. But he insisted: Its total rubbish. Total, total Loch Ness Monster.

Actually the Loch Ness Monster has got more credibility than some rubbish Labour has been spouting.

The NHS is absolutely central to our project. An NHS free at the point of use is one of the great glories of British society and were going to protect and invest in it.

He added: Its time for prosperity and not austerity.

Mr Johnson is clear he tried everything to avoid a Christmas election but was left with no choice.

He admits his blood boiled when 21 of his own MPs backed a Bill forcing him to seek a further Brexit delay unless a deal was voted through. BoJo said: It did make me very angry. I was so sick that they came in to see me at one point and handed me the letter. I filed it vertically, Im afraid. Then they came back with another copy and I filed that vertically.

Unfortunately, the Surrender Act made it just impossible. We faced a situation where you cannot hold ministerial office and be in contempt of court. We would have had a walkout by the civil service.

LEFT WITH NO CHOICE

The PM was left with no choice but to call an election.

He protested: I dont want this election. I dont seek it. I love being PM its the most fantastic job in the world. Any election is a risk but we have to do it as the only way to resolve this is to set a hard deadline and get Brexit done.

Mr Johnson revealed his partner, former Tory head of communications Carrie Symonds, will take an active part in the five-week election campaign appearing alongside him at some events.

He said: I hope very much shell play some supporting role. I dont know quite what itll be just yet but we have a few ideas in mind.

Since becoming PM, Mr Johnsons fitness has taken a knock and he plans an election diet.

He joked: I do my Bruce Lee workout in the garden. The trouble is, in order to go for a run at seven oclock every morning, if youre Prime Minister you have to deploy a hell of a lot of police.

Dilyn, his Jack Russell cross rescue puppy, is helping to keep him active in the No10 garden. At least Dilyn is in great shape, he laughed.
