• United Kingdom: Laboristas and independentistas agree on a motion of censure against Boris Johnson
  • Calendar: Key dates until Brexit

Boris Johnson has denied that his repeated use of "war metaphors" to boost Brexit is an incitement to violence. Speaking to the BBC, the premier defended himself against the accusations made against him for his aggressive intervention this week in Parliament, claiming that he sees himself as a "model of restraint" in the use of language.

At the opening of the Conservative Party conference in Manchester, under the slogan Get Brexit Done , Johnson has nevertheless gone further. The premier has renamed the law to request a new three-month extension of the EU's exit, approved by Parliament, not only as "the law of surrender" but as "the law of abject capitulation."

Far from moderating his tone, Johnson plans to use the Manchester pulpit something like a call to arms (metaphorically) to defend his plan to complete Brexit on October 31 , with or without agreement.

Keir Starmer, spokesman for the Brexit of the Labor Party, has denounced in statements to The Observer that the Prime Minister's offensive is due to "an orchestrated plan to provoke the anger of exit supporters and create civil disturbances" (in the style of vests) yellows in France).

Former Attorney General Dominic Grieve, recently expelled from the Conservative Party by Johnson, has warned that the premier could ultimately invoke the Civil Contigence Act of 2004 and declare a "national emergency" if street disturbances occur, a possibility pointed to the same week for some of your direct collaborators.

The situation has reached such an extreme that the president of the House of Commons, John Bercow, has called a special meeting with political leaders on Monday to moderate "inflammatory language" and the growing acrimony in Westminster. On the same Monday, the opposition parties will hold a new meeting to decide whether to promote a motion of censure against Boris Johnson, following the principle of agreement reached between Scottish Labor and Nationalists.

Johnson reiterated for his part on the BBC his intention to complete Brexit on the set date and stressed the "progress in negotiations" with Brussels and his hope of reaching an agreement. The EU chief negotiator, Michel Barnier, has stressed in the meantime that the rhetoric used by the premier this week - after losing his battle with the Supreme Court and suffering his seventh consecutive defeat in Parliament - makes the possibility of entering agreement.

During his speech on Wednesday, Boris Johnson said culminating Brexit was the best way to "honor the memory" of Jo Cox (Labor deputy killed by ultra-right-wing Thomas Mair). Johnson disqualified as "hoaxes" the death threats received by another Labor deputy, Paula Sherriff.
