No-deal Brexit during election 'anti-democratic' - CorbynSuch is the uncertainty at Westminster that a little over a fortnight After a new Prime Minister took office, the leader of the opposition is demanding the UK's top civil servant intervene in response to speculation over a no-deal Brexit during a hypothetical general election period. Sir Mark Sedwill over concerns PM Boris Johnson could call an election, then allow the UK to leave the EU on 31 October while Parliament is dissolved and there are no MPs around trying to prevent a no-deal scenario. This, the Labour leader argues, would be an "anti-democratic abuse of power".
Mr Corbyn wants assurances that Sir Mark would advise ministers to observe "purdah" guidance, which states that policy decisions on which a new government might "take a different view" should be postponed until After the election. In other words, that they should seek another extension to the Brexit process. As MPs have, of course, already voted to leave the EU, the default is that Brexit will happen on 31 October. It raises questions about the timing of any bid to force an election by tabling a vote of no confidence in the Prime Minister , which Mr Corbyn has said his party will do at an "appropriate" time After The Commons returns from its summer recess on 5 September.
