Boris Johnson has promised centrist Conservative MPs he will not go into an election arguing for a no-deal Brexit and would never make a pact with Nigel Farage.
Damian Green, the leader of the One Nation group of 80 Tory MPs, told the Guardian that Johnson "looked [him] in the eye" as he pledged that he party will not shift to endorsing a no-deal Brexit as the Conservatives' central policy.
Green said he believed Johnson's reassurances

It's not his eye he should be watching. It's his lips. Did they move?
