Johnson Sends Brexit Proposals to Parliament as Revolt Grows

Prime Minister Boris Johnson will put his plan to break international law over Brexit to its first debate and vote in the U.K. Parliament on Monday, amid a growing rebellion from his MPs and further criticism from former premiers and European Union leaders.

Johnson is likely to get the Internal Market Bill, which would allow the U.K. to unilaterally override parts of the divorce treaty it signed with the EU, over its first hurdle in the House of Commons, though bigger rebellions are expected in later stages when MPs vote on proposals to re-write the most controversial parts of the legislation. The EU has threatened legal action unless Johnson backs down by the end of the month, a request his government has rejected.
