BREAKING: British lawmakers reject government's fast-track timetable for Brexit bill, making Oct. 31 EU exit all but impossible.
The European Commission says it has taken note of British lawmakers’ votes on Brexit and awaits details from the U.K. government on how it intends to proceed.
Johnson rebuked Parliament for “voting to delay” Brexit once again. The national referendum approving the U.K.’s departure from the European Union was held in 2016. It is supposed to happen by Oct. 31. The vote likely makes it impossible for Johnson to fulfil his vow to take Britain out of the EU on the scheduled date of Oct. 31.That throws Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s exit timetable into chaos.He could agree to give lawmakers more time, which would need a delay to Brexit of at least a few weeks.
But first lawmakers must approve the fast-tracked timetable. They are due to vote on that later Tuesday. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson was headed for a showdown Tuesday with lawmakers who want to put the brakes on his drive to push his EU divorce bill through the House of Commons in just three days and take Britain out of the EU by Oct. 31.Prime Minister Boris Johnson says that if lawmakers reject his accelerated three-day timetable for Brexit bill he will pull it and seek an election.
