LONDON - UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson admitted he's at least partly responsible for failing to deliver on his"do or die" pledge to deliver Brexit by Oct 31 and apologised for not being able to get it done, as the country enters its third election-campaign period in four years.
He said it was"a matter of deep regret", apologising to Conservative Party members who voted for him to become leader based on his promises to deliver Brexit by that date come what may. Mr Johnson also once again ruled out a pact with Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage, who on Sunday said he wouldn't make an eighth attempt to run for Parliament. Mr Farage told the BBC's Andrew Marr show that his time would be better used helping other Brexit Party candidates.
The party has consistently pointed to the 2017 election to show how polls can get it wrong. Two years ago, Labour trailed in the polls, but in the end the party saw an unexpected surge in support.Labour's business spokeswoman Rebecca Long-Bailey repeatedly refused to confirm that the party would support a remain position in a second referendum.
