British parliament braces for showdown that could prompt snap polls
Britain’s lower house of parliament on Tuesday says it is due to return from recess with lawmakers bracing for a showdown that can lead to a snap election.
If successful, the bill would force the prime minister to ask for Brexit to be delayed until January 31, unless lawmakers approved a new deal or vote in favour of a no-deal Brexit by October 19. Mr Johnson did his best on Monday to dampen speculation about fresh elections, however, with protesters threatening to drown him out in Downing Street.Earlier, Mr Johnson had called an unscheduled cabinet meeting in the face of a potential revolt from some of his own Conservative members of parliament.
