Brexit: MPs trying to block no deal make it more likely, says Boris Johnson

Feb 16,2020 5:45 am

The PM has warned MPs they are damaging his chances of getting a Deal with the EU by trying to block a no-Deal Brexit.

Boris Johnson said the UK would leave The Bloc "do or die" on 31 October - prompting some MPs to act to stop the UK leaving without an agreement.

Speaking to the BBC, he said: "In The Last couple of weeks, there has been a great Deal of movement from the EU side. They do think the UK is serious, as indeed we are, about doing a Deal .

"We are working together now on serious ways that we can change the current agreement, Get Out of that mistake and do a Deal . "

A European Commission spokesperson said its "doors remain open" and insisted it had "demonstrated our willingness to work 24/7 throughout this long process".

But Ireland's Foreign Affairs Minister, Simon Coveney , said it was up to the UK to "propose alternatives that can solve those problems".

As things stand, the UK is due to leave the EU on 31 October with or without a "divorce" agreement.

The previous government, under Theresa May , agreed a Deal with the EU but it was rejected by MPs Three Times .

Mr Johnson said that Deal would leave the UK being "bossed around by Brussels with no come back".

And while he would prefer to reach a New Deal , he said he was willing to leave without One - and maintained the UK would leave by the October deadline "no ifs, no buts".

He said: "The Best way to [leave with a Deal ] is if our friends and partners over the Channel don't think that Brexit can be somehow blocked by Parliament.

"As long as they think in the EU that Parliament might try to block Brexit or might even succeed in blocking Brexit, the less likely they are to give us The Deal we want. "

He added: "The Weird thing is that the more the parliamentarians try to block the no-Deal Brexit, the more likely it is that we'll end up in that situation.

"So The Best thing now is for us to get on and make our points to our European friends with clarity and with vigour, and that's what we are doing. "

A Number of MPs who oppose a no-Deal Brexit are planning to take action in Parliament next week to force Mr Johnson to ask the EU for an extension to the deadline if a Deal is not agreed In Time .

MPs are remaining tight-lipped about their precise plan, but Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said The Party would attempt to bring legislation, and that a no-confidence vote to bring down the government remained an option.
