British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is expected to push for a vote on his EU divorce deal, as parliament gears up for a week of guerrilla warfare over Brexit
With just 10 days to go until the UK is due to leave the EU on October 31, UK PM Johnson's government planned to ask for a"straight up-and-down vote" on the EU divorce agreement.
With just 10 days to go until the UK is due to leave the bloc on October 31, Johnson's government planned to ask for a "straight up-and-down vote" on his EU divorce agreement, which changes how both sides handle the Irish border. That request comes two days after lawmakers voted to delay approving the Brexit deal.
He did that, grudgingly, to comply with a law passed by Parliament ordering the government to postpone Brexit rather than risk the economic damage that could come from a no-deal exit. "We will have somewhat more clarity in the coming days, and we will then exercise our responsibility and quickly make a decision," Germany's Peter Altmaier said.
The British government still hopes it can pass the needed Brexit legislation by the end of the month so the UK can leave on time. There is still a risk that Britain leaves the European Union without a deal at the end of October, Brexit minister Steve Barclay said on Monday.
