Johnson Tries Again to Force U.K. Election: Brexit Update
This article is for subscribers only.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson, facing the biggest political crisis of his career, is addressing Parliament for the first time since Britain’s Supreme Court ruled his decision to suspend the legislature was illegal.
He has offered all opposition political parties the chance to trigger a formal vote of no-confidence in his government, a move that would put Britain on course for a potential general election. Speaking to the Commons, Johnson criticized the court judgment, and said voters wanted politicians to deliver Brexit by the end of October -- without a deal if necessary.
