PM Boris Johnson goads opponents to call election as tempers flare over Brexit via ReutersTV
LONDON - Prime Minister Boris Johnson taunted his rivals on his return to parliament on Wednesday, goading them to either bring down the government or get out of the way to allow him to deliver Brexit.
“This Parliament must either stand aside and let this government get Brexit done or bring a vote of confidence and finally face the day of reckoning with the voters,” Johnson said, adding he would not “betray the people” over Brexit. Having lost his majority and a series of parliamentary votes on Brexit, Johnson had suspended the House of Commons for five weeks. But the country’s top court ruled the closure was void in one of the most humiliating legal defeats for a prime minister.
As lawmakers around the House shouted “resign, resign”, Johnson said his opponents were refusing to agree to an election for fear that they would not win power.
