KEMI Badenoch has vowed to rip up any EU deal that betrays Brexit if she becomes Prime Minister.
The Tory leader has also made her top team – which includes some former Remainers – sign a pledge to honour the 2016 vote to Leave.

Sir Keir Starmer has sparked fears of backsliding as he rushes to secure a “reset” deal with Brussels ahead of a summit on May 19.
Possible concessions to the EU include giving French fishermen greater access to our waters, a youth mobility migration scheme, and aligning with Brussels’ trade rules.
Ms Badenoch has promised to oppose any erosion of Britain’s national sovereignty and will force a vote in Parliament on the issue.
She will today meet the EU’s ambassador in London to warn she would reverse any deal that crosses her “red lines” on sovereignty.
A Tory spokesman said: “The Conservative Party stands by the decision made by millions in the 2016 referendum and will always defend our national interest.
“Keir Starmer and many of his Cabinet spent years trying to overturn the largest democratic mandate in British history and are now preparing to sell us out to Brussels.”
Labour have ruled out any deal that returns the UK to freedom of movement, the single market or customs union.
Kemi narrowly edged out Robert Jenrick to win the Conservative leadership last November, following election annihilation.
