1. A group of One Nation Tories met the PM this afternoon to demand that Tory manifesto in the hypothetical coming election wouldn't be straightforward promise to leave without a deal
2. MP present said Johnson assured them they would not become a simple 'no deal' party and it was not the policy of the govt right now
3. MPs made clear that there were dozens of them who wouldn't be willing to sign up to that kind of pledge
4. As I understand it from various sources, consideration right now is that manifesto would likely include a promise to leave with a deal if poss but leave without a deal at speed if it can't be done, within days or weeks of election that is IF (huge if!) there was Tory majority
5. But there has been no final decision - and obviously this is all hugely dependent on what happens in the next couple of weeks - right now it is all hypothetical
