Donald Tusk, the head of the EU Council, said on Sunday that the bloc’s leaders will consider the request over the next few days. French President Emmanuel Macron and some other leaders have expressed reservations about a delay, but it is widely expected that they will ultimately grant one since the EU wants to avoid a no-deal Brexit.The extension request ended a tumultuous weekend for the Prime Minister’s Brexit strategy and increased the uncertainty about what comes next.
On Sunday, the cabinet minister in charge of Brexit preparations, Michael Gove, said the government had"the means and ability" to leave on Oct. 31."We know that the EU want us to leave, we know that we have a deal that allows us to leave," Mr. Gove told Sky TV. In a warning to MPs, Mr. Gove added that there was no guarantee the EU would agree to a delay which meant “the risk of leaving without a deal has grown.
The Labour Party said it will seek parliamentary support for a referendum on Mr. Johnson’s deal. “Whether it’s this deal or any future deal it has got to go back so the public can say do you want to leave on these terms? If so then we do, if not we remain [in the EU],” Labour MP Keir Starmer told the BBC. He added that Mr. Johnson had acted childlike in refusing to sign the extension request. “If we crash out because of what he’s done with the letters … he bears personal responsibility for that.
This is what happens when Parliament try to tell a Prime Minister that he's not allowed to have a view contrary to theirs. He's forced to comply but at the same time make it clear it's not what he wants. Its Parliamentary dictatorship. Surprisingly, Johnson is the good guy here.
He's just a spoiled little child who if he doesn't get his way acts churlishly. A little 💩 who never grew up 🧐 BorisJohnson king of the 💩💩's
This petty series of letters is what the elite in British politics do when they don’t get their way? Send BorisJohnson to bed w/o supper.
