LONDON - Boris Johnson, favourite to be the next British prime minister, on Wednesday refused to say whether he would seek to shut Parliament to facilitate a no-deal Brexit but agreed such a plan could be convenient for him.
“I’m not going to comment on our programme,” Johnson said, asked at a hustings event when he would introduce a Queen’s Speech. Asked about the convenience of a November Queen’s Speech, he said, “I’m not going to dissent from you. That seems like a reasonable point.” He told the hustings event for party members on Wednesday that he was willing to negotiate with the EU, but if faced with a lack of flexibility or compromise, Britain would have to leave regardless.
