4. An Australian-style points-based immigration system.
 5.Investment in science, education, infrastructure and action to reach net-zero carbon. emissions by 2050
6. All without raising the rate of income tax, VAT or National Insurance

Mr Johnson says as he races to the finishing line: “Whilst my six pledges to the people start with getting Brexit done, they don’t end there.

“We want to invest in the NHS, crack down on crime, tackle climate change and keep taxes low – our priorities are your priorities.

“But Brexit is the key to unlocking this action – because unless we get out of this quicksand of a Brexit argument, our future as a country remains uncertain.

“Tomorrow at the ballot box you have the opportunity to tell politicians that you want Brexit done.

“We have one more day. Make sure you have your voice heard.”
