Britain’s Johnson Faces Brexit Deadline

A handout picture released by the UK Parliament shows Britain’s Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Michael Gove and Britain’s Prime Minister Boris Johnson listening in the House of Commons in London on October 19, 2019, during a debate on the Brexit deal.British Prime Minister Boris Johnson faces two crucial Brexit votes Tuesday that could decide if he still has a reasonable shot at securing his EU divorce by next week’s deadline.

The Conservative leader now hopes parliament gives initial support to a Brexit bill that translates the revised withdrawal agreement he struck with Brussels last week into UK law. Parliament has already forced Johnson to request a three-month extension that European leaders will consider once they get a clearer picture of how the battles in parliament play out.

Pro-European Britons have also held massive rallies in London demanding a second Brexit referendum, which could allow for the result of the first to be overturned. A three-day process would still likely see Labour and its allies try to attach amendments that are unpalatable to the government. Government sources told The Daily Telegraph newspaper that Johnson could pull the bill if it gets weighed down with amendments his Conservatives cannot accept.
