Brexit: Mr Johnson says 'no need' for UK to follow EU rules on trade.
Yet a few years ago Mr Johnson was a leading defender of Britain staying inside the single market.
"I would vote to stay in the single market," Johnson told Sky News in 2013.
PM BJ: "We could construct a relationship with the EU that more closely resembled that of Norway or Switzerland - except that we would be inside the single market council, and able to shape legislation" Johnson said.
PM BJ: "I'm in favour of the single market. I want us to be able to trade freely with our European friends & partners."

26 Jun 2016 · Boris Johnson has said the UK there will be “still have access to the single market”, despite Britain’s historic vote to leave the EU.
Michael Gove during Campaigning said:
“There is a free trade zone stretching from Iceland to Turkey that all European nations have access to, regardless of whether they are in or out of the euro or EU. After we vote to leave we will remain in this zone....
Mr Gove: “The suggestion that Bosnia, Serbia, Albania and the Ukraine would stay part of this free trade area - and Britain would be on the outside with just Belarus - is as credible as Jean-Claude Juncker joining UKIP....
Mr Gove: “Agreeing to maintain this continental free trade zone is the simple course and emphatically in everyone’s interests.”
Conservative MEP Daniel Hannan said : "To repeat, absolutely nobody is talking about threatening our place in the single market".
