09 September 201915.00 Boris Johnson "will not ask for an extension". This was announced by a spokesman for Downing Street, confirming the prime minister's intention not to obey the prescriptions of the "Benn Bill", the newly approved law that requires the government to request the EU to postpone the three-month Brexit to 31/01 2020. "If MEPs want to solve this problem there is a very simple way to do it, vote for early elections", as the Tory motion under discussion today asks. And from this evening Parliament is suspended for 5 weeks.
