London: Opposition parties at Westminster announced they are planning a joint effort to prevent Prime Minister Boris Johnson taking Britain out of the European Union without a deal.
The House of Commons has passed a bill, signed by the British monarch, requiring Johnson to ask Brussels for an extension of Britain’s membership if there is no deal in place by mid-October, Xinhua news agency reported on Thursday.
Johnson has insisted Britain will leave the bloc “with or without a deal” on Oct. 31, adding he will not ask for an extension.
Labour, the Scottish National Party (SNP), Liberal Democrats, Plaid Cymru (the Party of Wales) as well as the Green Party, agreed to meet Monday to consider all parliamentary mechanisms to stop a no-deal Brexit.
The main opposition Labour Party said the parties agreed that stopping a no-deal Brexit was a priority.
Liz Saville Roberts, the Plaid Cymru leader in the Parliament, told Sky News that opposition party leaders agreed that she would investigate what might be done to impeach or censure Johnson.
