UK Prime Minister Johnson promises no Brexit delays

Boris Johnson says he would "rather be dead in a ditch" than ask the EU to delay Brexit.

The UK Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, has said he'd rather be dead in a ditch than have to ask the European Union for a further Brexit extension beyond 31st October. The British parliament appears on course to bring in a law preventing the Prime Minister from taking the country out of the EU next month with no deal in place.
