Tory MP questions party's Brexit unity

Boris Johnson's Parliamentary Private Secretary has suggested some Conservative MPs may not listen to the Foreign Secretary's forthcoming Brexit speech. Conor Burns told the Westminster Hour that Mr Johnson "wants us now to leave the labels of Remain and Leave behind and unite in the opportunities that Brexit presents for Britain".
