The Prime Minister’s allies have said she will not stand by and watch Mr Johnson implement a no deal Brexit - an outcome which she fought to avoid during her three years in office. The Tory leadership frontrunner has said he will deliver on the result of the 2016 Brexit referendum by October 31, deal or no deal. Mrs May’s allies told The Mail on Sunday she has privately indicated she will team up with fellow Remainers to torpedo Mr Johnson’s plans.

Mr Stewart has said he will legislate against a no deal Brexit. 

Other Tory Remainers who could be obstacles to Mr Johnson’s no deal efforts include Work & Pensions Secretary Amber Rudd and Chancellor Philip Hammond.
