The former mayor of London, who only took charge on Wednesday, has promised to take Britain out of the EU by the latest deadline of October 31 - deal or no deal. "The British people voted in 2015, in 2016, in 2017," he said during a visit to the central English city of Birmingham."They don't want another electoral event, they don't want a referendum, they don't want a general election."
Britain voted 52 per cent in favour of leaving the European Union in a shock 2016 referendum that partially reflected deep resentment over economic inequality.
