UK: Brussels ready to bypass Boris Johnson and grant a Brexit extension (The
Times)
- The European Union is ready to grant another Brexit delay even if the letter
making a request for an extension beyond October 31 is not signed by the prime
minister.
- European leaders are on standby to hold an emergency Brexit summit in the last
week of the month if Boris Johnson fails to get a new withdrawal agreement past
the House of Commons in the next two weeks.
- Under the terms of the Benn act, the government must ask for a further
extension to the Article 50 process if he does not have Commons approval for a
new agreement or the support of MPs for a no-deal Brexit by October 19.
