He said: "My own family is divided between remain and leave. It's time for us to get this done.

"When we do that we begin our new partnership with our European friends. We can be great friends and supporters of Europe. Once people get that their anxiety will subside."

Mr Johnson also said that a coalition between the Labour Party and the SNP would be "chaotic".
