‘We’ve got no plan. What will we do?’: Boris Johnson ‘shock at Brexit result’ revealed in new book

New book also claims future PM cried when Michael Gove stood against him for Tory leadership

A “distraught” Boris Johnson declared “we’ve got no plan” when he realised Vote Leave would win the Brexit referendum, a new book claims.

Mr Johnson, who is widely credited with delivering the slim majority for Brexit, is said to have walked around his living room “looking ashen-faced and distraught”, muttering: “What the hell is happening? ... Oh s***, we’ve got no plan.

“We haven’t thought about it. I didn’t think it would happen. Holy c***, what will we do?”.
