LONDON: Britain's newly installed Prime Minister Boris Johnson holds his first Cabinet meeting on Thursday faced with the burning challenge of resolving the three-year Brexit crisis in three months.
Johnson delivered a characteristically optimistic speech on Wednesday in which he vowed to steer Britain"out of the EU on Oct 31 - no ifs or buts". Johnson's solution for the frontier revolves around proposals that have been repeatedly rejected as either unworkable or insufficient by both EU and Irish leaders.
"Any suggestion that there can be a whole new deal and negotiated in weeks or months is totally not in the real world," he said.Johnson will have the backing of his party but not the nation in his first days on the job.
