LONDON - Prime Minister Boris Johnson will start a week of intense diplomacy on Monday , as he tries to push for a Brexit deal on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
But with the clock ticking down to the Oct 31 deadline, the tortured negotiations over the UK's departure from the European Union will dominate Mr Johnson's agenda. He has pledged to leave"do or die" on Halloween and without a deal if necessary - though that would mean defying a law passed by Parliament this month requiring him to seek a delay to Jan 31 instead.
"Of course we'll respect whatever the legal ruling is from the Supreme Court," Mr Raab told the BBC."It's absolutely vital that we respect the role of the Supreme Court in our justice system, but also in our democracy." In a recorded interview broadcast on Sunday, though, Mr Juncker made clear that the EU is not yet convinced Mr Johnson has a solution to the Irish border. He also said where he thought the blame would lie for a no-deal Brexit.
Mr Juncker said that a no-deal Brexit would mean a hard border between Ireland and Northern Ireland to protect the integrity of the EU single market.Unless Mr Johnson can find a solution, he risks becoming boxed in - by the courts, the EU and Parliament. Even a general election - if he can secure one - looks risky if it comes after the UK is meant to have left the EU, with Mr Nigel Farage's Brexit Party likely to attract disenchanted Conservative voters.
