Boris Johnson is ready to quit Brexit talks within 48 hours unless the EU drops 'ludicrous' demands that would curb UK independence. One source said Mr Johnson was ready to walk away as early as tonight unless the EU backed down, adding: 'It's fair to say the Prime Minister isn't bluffing. An ally of the Prime Minister said he was 'bullish' about the UK's prospects outside the EU, with or without a trade deal. Downing Street insiders say the Prime Minister has been heard to sing the chorus of the Rolf Harris hit when asked about Brexit talks. Shadow Cabinet Office minister Rachel Reeves said 'let's see' when asked whether Labour would back any future Brexit deal.
