LONDON - Britain will take an aggressive stance towards the European Union if Brexit talks break down, threatening to withhold security cooperation to convince the bloc not to allow any further delay, a British source was quoted as saying.
EU leaders reacted coolly to British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s last-ditch proposals to bridge the impasse, and while negotiations are ongoing, many diplomats say the chances of a swift deal before Oct. 31 are low. Amber Rudd, the former pensions secretary who quit her job and the Conservative party last month over Johnson’s Brexit strategy told BBC radio the source appeared to be his senior adviser, Dominic Cummings.
Johnson has consistently said the United Kingdom will leave the EU on Oct. 31 with or without a deal, though a law passed by his opponents demands he write a letter to the EU asking for a delay if he cannot strike an exit deal by Oct. 19. “Our legal advice is clear that we can do all sorts of things to scupper delay which for obvious reasons we aren’t going into details about,” the Spectator’s source said.
