Javid also ruled out any kind of arrangement or pact with the Brexit Party at the next election. Farage has offered a non-aggression pact in return for Johnson backing a no deal Brexit.The House of Commons has announced that the election for a new speaker will take place on Monday Nov 4, shortly after the incumbent, John Bercow steps down.
