UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is still reeling from successive defeats in the House of Commons, while continuing to lead a now minority government, intent on delivering a no deal Brexit, despite opposition from much of the house, many of the public, and regardless of the catastrophic economic forecasts as the country heads towards a hard exit from the EU bloc or a possible general election confirmed by UK Chancellor, Sajid Javid.
In addition to facing a Brexit grilling from the opposition Jeremy Corbyn, MPs, and resignations, the Prime Minster had also faced scathing criticism in parliament over previous accusations of racism and his failure to tackle Islamophobia endemic with the Conservative party.
While Britain tries to make sense of the unfolding political upheaval the public remains as divided as ever over Brexit and Boris Johnson.
On Thursday, such was the revulsion of the actions of the government, that Boris Johnson’s own brother, Conservative MP Jo Johnson who campaigned for remain, resigned from the party, torn between family loyalty and the national interest.
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson following his first key losses in the House of Commons could still push for a general election but is unlikely to secure backing from the House until the bill preventing no-deal becomes legislation. Whatever happens next, arguments on both sides of the debate are set to continue as the Brexit deadline approaches.
