it is sweltering inside and out, but our chief political correspondent vicki young is outside and willis right. cabinet ministers and mps streaming across here, there are a couple, i am going to bring them over, andrea led some. we are live on politics live. boris johnson said to the audience are you daunted by what is ahead? i think a lot of people will be daunted, are you? no, not at all. i am a passionate believer in the uk's future outside of the european union, and what is concerning me is for the last three years we have not delivered it. we have to deliver it. in my own constituency there are lots of high tech engineering business, they have saying what is killing us is the uncertainty, get on with it. boris will. why do you think that? because he truly believes in the future for the united kingdom once we have left the eu. he will re—open the negotiation, i had eu. he will re—open the negotiation, ihad an eu. he will re—open the negotiation, i had an excellent lunch with some embassies benelux embassy, belgian, luxembourg and netherlands, they we re luxembourg and netherlands,

our chief political correspondent vicki young is in manchester for us. i, more pledges and promises. how are they all going to be funded? it is quite a wish list, isn't it, not just those it is quite a wish list, isn't it, notjust those rail promises but housing, social care, broadband, the police, firm commitments he says but no real details about how he will pay for it. the only reference to money was to around £25 billion that the former chancellor philip hammond had earmarked to mitigate the effects of a no—deal brexit. boris johnson is spending money ramping up those preparations for no—deal, so how is he going to pay for the implication, although he didn't say this, the implication is that it would mean more borrowing. it is interesting he has chosen to make his first speech as prime minister outside london, coming to manchester. he sees northern towns and cities clearly as a priority, and cities clearly as a priority, and the mayor of manchester andy burnham seems to think borisjohnson is serious about delivering on all of this, but probably on the

let's speak to our chief political correspondent vicki young in westminster. what shall we make of all this talk of no-deal preparations? there's been a shift in language, talking about turbo—charging those preparations, those daily committees and expensive advertising campaigns, but remember boris johnson and expensive advertising campaigns, but remember borisjohnson has a lwa ys but remember borisjohnson has always said his preference is to leave with a deal and he repeated that today, it hasn't changed. but both are related. many brexiteers know that the best way to get the best deal out of the eu is to show that you are serious about walking away from talks, something they don't think theresa may ever did, but it leaves us with a bit of a stand—off, downing street said today that the prime minister obviously wa nts to that the prime minister obviously wants to sit down with eu leaders and meet them at negotiate, but he will not sit down and be told that the eu cannot possibly reopen the agreement, so the big question if push comes to shove is, is boris joh
