BREAKING: UK Supreme Court rules PM Johnson's Parliament suspension as unlawful
Johnson says he wants to negotiate a new Brexit deal with Europe but claims he is willing to leave without a deal if necessary.saying it could bring economic pain, civil unrest and shortages of food.
But rebel lawmakers opposed to this"no deal" scenario seized control of the process this month, passing a law that requires Johnson to request a further extension to the U.K.’s divorce date with the E.U. That leaves him facing the prospect of an embarrassing climbdown from what he termed a"do or die" deadline.Under U.K. law a"snap" election can be called if a two-thirds majority of the House of Commons approve it. But opposition parties don't want to agree to a vote until an extension has been secured.
Johnson maintains that he can negotiate a better deal than that agreed between his predecessor Theresa May and Brussels.He is set to hold talks with European leaders this week in New York.Alexander Smith and Yuliya Talmazan
