EU'LL NEVER BELIEVE IT Boris promises cheaper household gas bills if Brits back Brexit

EXCLUSIVE: The Former Mayor of London claims leaving the EU will mean ministers can slash the price of our gas bills

BORIS Johnson and Michael Gove today promise to scrap VAT on household energy bills if Britain backs a Brexit.
