“If ultimately the prime minister and leader of my party is doing something which I think is so fundamentally wrong, then I can’t continue supporting it.” Nigeria
Members of Johnson's own Conservative party are preparing to join opposition lawmakers in a vote to try to force a delay to Britain's exit from the European Union if he cannot secure a divorce deal with Brussels in the next few weeks.
The pound is trading at its lowest level since 2016 on fears of the unknown that a"no-deal Brexit" can bring."If ultimately the prime minister and leader of my party is doing something which I think is so fundamentally wrong, then I can't continue supporting it," Dominic Grieve, a rebel Conservative MP, told BBC television.
They will then hope to get a chance to vote on Wednesday on a bill forcing Johnson to seek a Brexit extension until January 31 if no new deal emerges at an October 17-18 EU summit. The big battle is expected to kick off with a parliamentary address by Johnson scheduled for 1430 GMT."I want everybody to know -- there are no circumstances in which I will ask Brussels to delay," he defiantly said over the jeering chants of protesters outside Downing Street.
