Tory rebel Dominic Grieve says MPs could still vote to bring down Boris Johnson's government if he tries to force Britain out of the EU.
Conservative MP Dominic Grieve, who is trying to stop a no-deal Brexit, says MPs could still vote to bring down Boris Johnson's government if he tries to force the UK out of the EU.
Dominic Cummings, Johnson's new adviser — who oversaw the Vote Leave campaign to exit the European Union in 2016 — reportedly laughed at the idea that Johnson would resign as prime minister if he lost a confidence vote before Brexit, which is one plan that Conservative rebel MPs are considering.that Cummings said Johnson would simply force through a no-deal Brexit and then call a snap general election if he lost a vote of confidence among MPs, rather than immediately resign.
"He's right when he points out that for the House of Commons to prevent a no-deal Brexit against the wishes of an administration that is hell-bent on delivering it come what may, there are a whole series of obstacles," he told BBC Radio 4 on Sunday. Johnson, who was installed as prime minister in late July following the departure of Theresa May, has promised to take the UK out of the EU by October 31, the scheduled exit date, with or without a deal.
