Johnson asked EU leaders for a Brexit delay. He also told them not to grant it.

London UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been forced to ask the European Union for an extension to the Brexit process, an outcome he once notoriously described as worse than being"dead in a ditch."

But in an extraordinary development that followed a bruising defeat in Parliament, he simultaneously disowned the request, declaring that the three-month delay would be"corrosive."Johnson was compelled by law to demand the delay after lawmakers withheld approval of his Brexit deal. In a day of intense political drama in London, MPs voted to postpone ratification of the deal until Parliament has passed the complex set of legislation required to enact it.

Boris Johnson: I will not negotiate a delay with the EU 01:55A third letter was sent to EU leaders, in which Johnson explained why the delay was a bad idea. It would be"deeply corrosive," he wrote in the letter, according to a UK government source. Tusk said he had received the correspondence and would consult with other EU leaders on next steps.

Why do these two blondes think they are above the law and that they can do anything as they please disregarding the law... 😞.

Seems to be a smart leader we will see!

The Brits deserve a good PM, not this idiot.

Doesn't matter though,Boris is storming ahead in polls so it’s just a matter of time until he gets an election

This crazy clone of a dictator is as bad as rump. He lies almost as much as rump. He seeks to ruin England’s economy. The putin can swoop in and pretend to offer help. This liar that wants to be like putin should be rejected by parliament. Force another election.

Banana republic request.StopBrexit

And they darn well should not. Three and half years since the people's vote and elitist MPs still not carried out the people's vote. Inexcusable.

Brexiters have been busy telling everyone its advantage. But none has told anyone what Britain will lose remaining in Europe. They'll lose nothing.

Kick them out, flush them and close the door

A 🤷‍♂️. What is going on inside his head?

They nerd to drop ths whole Brexit thing. They know it is stupid. Jst smthng thy voted fr on emotions of fear of some immigrants.

The protests in Hong Kong are not “Pro-Democracy”, they are violent rioters that will beat up ordinary residents of different views from them. Free HongKong from these violent rioters and return Hong Kong to pre-June-2019 where everywhere are peaceful！

Liberals everywhere are the same. Lose the election, and play rogue trying to get it back.

Spoiled child.

Boris, nmam not your fan, but I think it's time the mps stood stalling and get the country moving again, we need to start living instead of in a limbo.

What a jock

Why is Johnson still in office?

If he did that he broke the law, he will claim the other letter didn't say ignore it.

I always thought a legal document has to be signed or it’s not worth the paper it’s wrote on ?

No he didn’t. It would be illegal for him to do so under UK legal precedent.

Another example of dirty politics, resulting in the unpredictable and unstable future of a country.

We British people are all very united and happy BorisJohnson 💕💕💕💕😂😂😂

This is getting curious and curiouser

Brexit progressing nicely

And by sending the second letter he is now in contempt of court

How come this guy isn't orange?

He should just ask for a delay to 17th March 2543 and hope that that is enough time for everyone to simply forget about it

The Latest: Johnson sends EU request for Brexit delayBREAKING: The UK formally asks the European Union for a delay to Brexit — but also sends a letter from Prime Minister Boris Johnson arguing against it. The EU Council president tweets that he will consult EU leaders on how to react. Novel idea. You held a vote, follow the will of the people. French President Macron’s office says that given that a deal was negotiated, “it’s now up to the British Parliament to say if it approves or rejects it.

But you will be in contempt of parliament and the laws. You are in a fix sir. Trump-like defiance won't work; thankfully, UK still respects and adheres to parliamentary authority and rule of law.
