Boris Johnson will host a party in No 10 for cabinet ministers and pro-Brexit advisers at which guests will toast the UK’s departure from the EU with British-sourced food washed down with English sparkling wine, reports Gazeta, citing The Guardian.

Canapés will include savoury shortbread topped with Shropshire blue cheese, filet of lamb, a ploughman’s of cheddar and pickle, roast chicken skewers – probably not chlorinated – and roast beef and Yorkshire pudding with a horseradish sauce.

At 10pm, he is scheduled to deliver a televised address to the country calling Brexit not an end but a beginning and will describe it as “a moment of real national renewal and change”.

Downing Street itself will be illuminated by a red and blue light show, along with the Treasury, the Ministry of Defence, the Ministry of Justice, HMRC, and the Cabinet Office, plus the offices of Scotland and Wales.
