European Union (Withdrawal) Act

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said today that Britain would leave the European Union at any cost on October 31, Reuters and TASS reported, quoted by BTA.
    "The Prime Minister has made it clear that the UK will in any case leave the EU on October 31st," Johnson's office said.

Alternate Foreign Minister Miltiadis Varvitsiotis said on Wednesday that the appointment of Boris Johnson as British prime minister has created the preconditions for a disorderly Brexit.

Boris Johnson took over as Britain's new prime minister on July 24 vowing to prove the "gloomsters" wrong and get a new deal to leave the European Union on October 31- or exit without one.

The British Parliament passed a law aimed at forcing the government to ask EU leaders for a new break in Brexit to avoid divorce without an agreement on April 12, AP and AFP announced. The law was approved by the House of Lords and the House of Commons late last night.

British MPs today adopted a government proposal to postpone Brexit, as well as a new vote on the exit treaty agreed by Theresa May and Brussels, the France press said.
