Sticking to Brexit plan, Johnson will not seek a delay

Prime Minister Boris Johnson is sticking to his Brexit plan and will not seek a delay to Britain's departure from the EU at a summit next month, two of his ministers said on Sunday following a resignation from his government.

He has lost his Conservative government's majority in parliament, expelled 21 rebels from the party and failed to force through a new election. Then his own brother quit, saying he was torn between family loyalty and the national interest. "I am saying that 80 to 90 percent of the work that I can see going on in the EU relationship is about preparation for no deal. It's about disproportion," she told the"The purpose of this resignation is to make the point that the Conservative Party at its best should be a moderate party that embraces people with different views of the EU."

Britain's political crisis stepped up a gear last week, when parliament passed legislation to try to force Johnson to secure a Brexit extension if parliament has not approved either a deal or consented to leaving without agreement by Oct 19.
