Boris Johnson warned by Tory rebels: ditch no deal or face fight for survival

Leadership candidate told he is on collision course with parliament over no-deal Brexit

Boris Johnson has been put on notice by rebel Conservatives that he will not survive long as prime minister unless he drops his no-deal Brexit agenda, as he stands on the brink of entering Downing Street.

Johnson is expected to be announced as the choice of the Conservative party to be the next prime minister on Tuesday morning after running a campaign against Jeremy Hunt that promised to take the UK out of the EU by the end of October "do or die".
