Boris Johnson and Ruth Davidson mend their differences over a drink after brutal EU referendum campaign
THE pair famously clashed during blockbuster Brexit debate before vote
BORIS Johnson has buried the hatchet with Ruth Davidson over their Brexit feud -- after making up over a tipple.
The Scottish Tory boss branded BoJo a liar when they clashed in a fiery TV debate before the EU vote.
But she insisted the war of words had been forgotten following the shock Leave victory -- which led to Boris being made Foreign Secretary.
Quizzed on how they could work together after the battle, Ms Davidson said: “I was pleasantly surprised and impressed when I had a meeting with him a fortnight ago.”
And last night a source close to Mr Johnson said: “Boris’s relations with Ruth are very good.
"They recently met for a drink in Westminster and have become very good friends.
“They have also agreed to co-operate closely in the months ahead to make sure things run smoothly.”
A pal of Ms Davidson revealed the meeting in the Commons -- known for its boozy bars -- was “convivial”, adding: “It’s fair to day they made up.”
The Tory duo notoriously clashed in June’s live TV debate in front of a 6,000-strong crowd at Wembley Arena.
Ms Davidson launched a series of ferocious attacks on Brexit chief Boris -- repeatedly accusing him of lying and saying the public “deserve the truth” about leaving the EU.
After BoJo dropped out of the Tory leadership race following the vote, Ms Davidson also mocked him with a smutty gag at a lunch with Westminster journalists.
She joked: "Labour is still fumbling with its flies while the Tories are enjoying their post-coital cigarette.
"After withdrawing our massive Johnson.”

Remain backer Ms Davidson told of making up with Boris ahead of the Tory conference which starts in Birmingham today.
The annual event will be dominated by talk over when the UK will leave the EU -- and under what terms.
Ms Davidson, an ardent Remain campaigner, was one of the few allies of David Cameron left standing after the Brexit vote.
She said: “There is a genuine understanding that we have to get on and deliver this.
“There is a genuine recognition within my colleagues down south that they have to roll up their sleeves.”
And attacking the SNP’s bid for a second indy vote on the back of Brexit, she said: “The fact that Nicola Sturgeon takes my vote to remain and thousands of other votes to remain as a proxy for independence is a nonsense.
“She has no democratic mandate to hold a referendum.
"Every single poll shows the support for a second referendum goes down every time the question is asked.
“People want to get past this and the only people asking for it are the SNP.”
