Will discontent and anger coalesce against Boris Johnson to overthrow him during the return to parliament next week? Boris Johnson has warned on Friday, August 30, the deputies against a block Brexit, scheduled October 31, a few hours after winning a first round in the legal battle by his opponents against his decision to suspend Parliament.

Boris Johnson does not budge. The deputies " have promised to implement the mandate of the people. They have promised to implement Brexit and I hope they will, "the British prime minister told Sky News. If not, he warned the " people's confidence in politics will erode gravely. "

Recourse to the courts or motion of censure in reflection , the tenant of 10 Downing Street is the lesson to those who rebel. Useless, he asserts them, and above all, counterproductive.

Two meetings a week in Brussels

"The more Europeans say that Parliament can try and succeed in blocking Brexit, the less likely they are to give us the agreement we want," says the former mayor of London. So it's totally baroque. But the more parliamentarians try to prevent an exit without agreement, the more it is the result they will eventually get. "

Blackmail or pressure, Boris Johnson has in any case announced an acceleration of meetings between British and European negotiators. Two meetings a week in Brussels in September. To say what? No one knows. Boris Johnson did not reveal the British proposals.
