General election: Boris Johnson tells Leave voters to ‘send in bulldozers’ to end Brexit gridlock with three days to go
BORIS Johnson will say it is time to “send in the bulldozers and smash through the gridlock” in Parliament as he warns the nation how close the polls are to overturning Brexit.
The Prime Minister will tomorrow tell voters in key marginals in the West Midlands that there is a "clear and present" danger of another hung parliament if they don't turn out to support the Tories on Thursday.
He said: “The stalemate in parliament has held this country back for too long.
“Instead of concentrating on your priorities, Westminster has been mired in division and deadlock.
“Politicians have spent so much time shouting at each other and devising ways of wriggling out of Brexit that they have neglected the issues people care about. It’s time to send in the bulldozers and smash through the gridlock.”
But Mr Johnson warned Brexit is still in danger as the threat of tactical voting in marginal seats by pro-Remainers rose.
The Tories need just nine extra seats for a majority — but the other parties need just 12 to raise the possibility of Marxist Jeremy Corbyn as Prime Minister.
PM TO VOTERS: 'SAVE BREXIT'
Mr Johnson warned voters not to leave Britain stuck for years in a “first circle of hell”. He said: “The only way to do that is to vote Conservative. The danger of another hung parliament is clear and present. There are sophisticated and well-financed attempts under way to prevent a Conservative majority through tactical voting.
“Jeremy Corbyn and his Lib Dem, nationalist and Green allies need only 12 more seats than last time to make Jeremy Corbyn Prime Minister and continue the chaos of a hung parliament.
“A vote for any of these parties is a vote for further indecision and two more referendums, on Brexit and Scottish independence.
“We’ll be stuck in this limbo, this first circle of hell, for the foreseeable future.
“On the other hand, the Conservatives need only nine more seats for a majority. We could finally get Brexit done, end the uncertainty and move on. And if we do break free, there’s a bright future waiting for us with all the opportunities of Brexit.”
He added: “Our fantastic new Australian-style points-based immigration system will attract exceptional talent to our shores while giving us control over low-skilled migration.
“Our economy is straining at the leash, with billions of pounds of investment ready to pour into this country if we clear the blockage.”
THE BORIS 'BULLDOZER' IN LABOUR HEARTLANDS
Yesterday, as the PM started his final three-day tour of Britain, he spent 18 hours on the campaign trail — starting at Grimsby fish market at 6.30am and ending at a rally in Stroud in Gloucestershire.
He took in five Labour-held key target seats along the way that the Tories must win to gain a Commons majority. Joking with fish salesmen in Grimsby, Boris said: “Cry haddock and let loose the cods of war.”
The PM addressed workers at Fergusons, a family-owned transport company in Washington, Tyne and Wear, to tell them: “We need to move our politics on.”
The Sun Says: Vote Boris or Brexit is toast
IF Brexit is the biggest election issue for you, there is now only one sane choice on Thursday: Boris Johnson’s Tories.
It’s not just that the Prime Minister has a deal with the EU ready to go — and can ensure we leave on January 31 once he has a Commons majority.
It’s that Labour has finally come off the fence as a Remain party. The Sun predicted long ago they would betray Leave voters and they now have.
That’s why some Remainers who detest Corbyn and his foul thugs will vote for him anyway. If he is installed as PM with Lib Dem and SNP help he will guarantee Brexit’s destruction.
Labour has vowed to agree a new surrender to Brussels which, unlike Boris’s deal, keeps us in the customs union, obeying EU rules and paying into its budget — with no immigration controls and no trade deals with the wider world.
Corbyn, incredibly, would present this as the “Leave” option in a new referendum, up against simply Remaining in full. Labour’s front-benchers would campaign for Remain, against their own deal. No one would champion Corbyn’s deal, not even Corbyn. He’s “neutral”.
YOUR REFERENDUM WIN WILL COUNT FOR NOTHING
It sounds like madness and it is. But that’s not all. To eliminate any risk of Leave somehow winning again, Labour would let kids of 16 and EU migrants vote this time. No prizes for guessing which side they would back.
Brexit, so close now, would be snatched away for good. Your victory in 2016 and all the political paralysis, all the rows and all the abuse Leavers have endured will have been for nothing. London’s Remainer establishment will have won.
This new vote would tear Britain apart and take months, maybe years, of bitter wrangling. Instead, a Boris majority can secure Brexit, kill off the Leave-Remain debate and second referendum campaign and spend 2020 pouring billions into public services in a way previous Tory Governments could not.
Remainers know this is their last chance. They aim to stop Boris using tactical voting and by vilifying him as a hard-right “racist” who will sell out the NHS and cares nothing for its patients. It is a desperate, despicable pack of lies.
They also claim the Government will never sign a free trade deal with Brussels by next December and we’ll have to leave with No Deal, damaging jobs. But these same people insisted Boris could never improve on Theresa May’s deal — and he proved them wrong then too.
Brexit will only happen if he wins a majority. There is no other way. Backing Nigel Farage’s Brexit Party only makes a clear Boris victory LESS likely.
Three years ago 17.4million Brits voted Leave. If all, or most, turn out again in two days’ time and vote for Boris he will win and Brexit WILL go ahead.
If not, Corbyn and his Remainer allies will seize power and destroy it. It’s that simple.
Introducing Boris, former Labour MP Gisela Stuart told the workers: “Voting for Boris does not make me a Tory, or you a Tory, but it does make us get the job done.”
Fergusons painter Rob Scott, 57, told The Sun: “I don’t know anybody around here who’s going to vote for Corbyn. His terrorist connections worry me, Hezbollah and the IRA.
“He’s a do as I say not as I do sort of chap. Boris seems like an ordinary bloke you could have a drink with. I don’t mind buying.”
