BORIS Johnson vowed to smash through the Brexit hold-up as he put it top of a six-point election pledge card.
Visiting a JCB plant in Staffordshire, he drove his main message home by ploughing a digger emblazoned with a Get Brexit Done sign through a polystyrene wall with Gridlock written on it.

But ahead of the final day of campaigning before the election, the PM warned it would be much tighter than people think.
Pointing to the previous one when the Tories surprisingly lost their Commons majority, he said: Im sorry to say this but remember what happened in 2017 polls can be wrong.
We need to be fighting for every vote. Were in the last 48 hours.
His promise to get Brexit done by the end of next month was put top of the Tony Blair-style pledge card that he will brandish at a series of final rallies.
He will use the last 24 hours before polls open at 7am to criss-cross the country visiting Yorkshire, the East Midlands, Wales and finally London to make sure voters turn out to stop Jeremy Corbyn entering No10.
NHS BOOST
Second on his pledge card is the Tory commitment to pump record sums of cash into the NHS, with 50,000 more nurses and 40 new hospitals.
By 2023, an extra 34billion will be spent on the health service and Mr Johnson has vowed to enshrine that additional money in law by introducing an NHS Long-term Funding Bill within his first 100 days.
The Tory leaders third pledge is to recruit 20,000 more police officers and impose tougher sentences on dangerous criminals.
Fourth is his plan to introduce an Australian-style points-based immigration system after Brexit to end years of record numbers coming to the UK.
INVESTMENT
Fifth on his card is the Tory commitment to invest in science, education, infrastructure and action to make Britain carbon neutral by 2050.
The sixth and final point will be his tax lock promise not to raise income tax, National Insurance contributions or VAT for the whole five-year Parliament.
He has also vowed to extend the fuel duty freeze next year.
The PM warned the choice in front of voters had never been so stark and dared them to imagine waking up on Friday morning with a Hamas backing, IRA-supporting, anti-Semitism-condoning appeaser of the Kremlin.
‘END THE DEADLOCK’
He said: This is a momentous occasion for our country. Ive never known an election like it, Ive never known a moment when the choice before us was so clear and so stark. I urge you all to think very, very hard. We have 48 hours to end the deadlock, the gridlock, the roadblock.
The PM joined night shift workers in Warrington stacking shelves and was this morning due to do a milk round in West Yorkshire.
He will end the day taking his message directly to peoples doors by canvassing in Essex, before making one final rally in London.
Mr Johnson said it was understandable that the 17.4million who voted to Leave feel ignored.
He went on: Whilst my six pledges to the people start with getting Brexit done, they dont end there.
We want to invest in the NHS, crack down on crime, tackle climate change and keep taxes low our priorities are your priorities.
Playing down expectations of a big win, he said: This is a very close-fought election and we need every vote. The only mathematical alternative to a working majority Conservative government is a real risk of another hung parliament. Thats another five years of confusion, chaos, dither, delay and division.
But his busy schedule was delayed as Extinction Rebellion climate protesters glued themselves to the Tory campaign bus as it left JCB in Uttoxeter.
