Another senior minister has quit British PM Johnson's government, and the ruling Conservative Party, in protest at Johnson's efforts to lead the UK out of the EU on Oct. 31 with or without a deal.

Those who were kicked out of the party last week included the longest sitting lawmaker in the House of Commons and the grandson of Winston Churchill."In recent weeks I’ve been torn between family loyalty and the national interest,"Jeremy Hunt, the former foreign minister who finished as a runner-up to Johnson in the Conservative Party leadership race earlier this summer, said Sunday that Rudd's resignation was “desperately sad news.

As politicians, commentators and experts alike scramble to assess the prime minister’s dwindling options — bringing down his own government has been raised as a potential last, desperate course of action — Johnson pushed ahead with his election demands.The bill forcing him to request a further extension to the U.K.’s divorce date with the E.U — possibly until January 2020 — is expected to become law on Monday.

Opposition parties don't want to agree to a vote unless they can ensure Johnson can't take Britain out of the E.U. without a deal.

If only the Republicans were that brave

No need to worry… Boris Johnson will have plenty of people to blame other than himself for the failure of Brexit. He knows that’s what Trump would do.

For the first time in 11 years, 80% of Americans in their prime are workingFor the first time in 11 years, four-fifths of all Americans in their prime working years have a job. Thanks realDonaldTrump What % of these folks in low paying jobs & what % in high paying jobs. My guess most earn lousy wages. Wealth in this country as well known concentrated in fewer & fewer. This number too much hype! Trash it! TechQn It only took $3.8T in Fed money to do it, $3.1T of which is still on the Fed's books. By the way, it's only reflecting employment back to 2008's peak and far below the early 2000s. Now do inflation relative to wages for each decade.
