Remainer Ken Clarke made the claim that regardless what Boris Johnson was saying, he nor Jeremy Hunt  could take the UK out on a no deal Brexit. He went on to say that the UK needed a trade agreement and a no deal Brexit simply wasn’t "possible". However, All Out Politics host Adam Boulton emphasised that both the EU and UK had been preparing for it and it was lawful that the UK could leave without a deal from the EU at which point Mr Clarke said a no deal Brexit was "technically" possible.

Ken Clarke told Sky News: “I think I share the exasperation of most of the public, the Tory leadership campaign is beginning to drive me up to the wall.

“It is becoming silly and slogan-based and simplistic.

“What worries me the most is that a great number of the public and the paid-up members have had enough of this as this has gone on for over three years.

“So we are concentrating on silly simple answers, let us just stop it all on 31st of October, give up on all agreements and stop bothering about trade.
