Hammond: radical Tory advisers want no-deal Brexit 'shock'

Former minister says party is no longer his and joins calls for PM to moderate his rhetoric

Philip Hammond has called for Boris Johnson to "moderate his language", and described the current Tory government of radicals who seek Brexit by any means as unrecognisable from the party he joined.

The former chancellor said he would not attend the Conservative party conference - due to begin on Sunday in Manchester - for the first time in 35 years.
