A senior adviser to British Prime Minister Boris Johnson dismisses concerns about tensions arising from Parliamentary debates over Brexit, telling supporters it isn't surprising people are upset about the country's failure to leave the European Union.
Dominic Cummings, political adviser to Britain's Prime Minister Boris Johnson, leaves 10 Downing Street in London, Thursday, Sept. 26, 2019. An unrepentant Prime Minister Boris Johnson brushed off cries of "Resign!" and dared his foes to try to topple him Wednesday at a raucous session of Parliament, a day after Britain's highest court ruled he acted illegally in suspending the body ahead of the Brexit deadline.
“We are enjoying this,” said Cummings, one of the architects of the 2016 “leave” campaign. “We are going to leave and we are going to win.” The National Audit Office said additional shipping capacity chartered by the U.K. for sending goods across the English Channel might not be operational until the end of November — one month after the Oct. 31 Brexit deadline. Of the more than 12,300 medicines licensed in the U.K., about 7,000 arrive from or via the EU, mostly across the Channel.
The EU, however, says it is still waiting for concrete proposals from Britain on maintaining an open border between the U.K.’s Northern Ireland and EU member Ireland — the key sticking point to a deal.
