Britain's opposition parties have declared that they will try to pass a law that will force Prime Minister Johnson to seek to postpone his departure from Europe and prevent a chaotic no-agreement exit at the end of October.
Britain is facing a constitutional crisis at home and a showdown with the European Union as Johnson has vowed to lead Britain out of Europe without an agreement in 66 days unless Brussels agrees to renegotiate the British withdrawal agreement.
The focus of the dispute between the two sides is the safeguard clause, namely, the preventive measures to prevent the emergence of a hard border on Ireland.
Johnson told European Commission President Jack on Tuesday that a withdrawal agreement could not be reached unless safeguards were removed.
The British Parliament will close its summer recess next week for a fight with Johnson. Johnson had promised to lead Britain out of the EU by the end of October, whether or not an agreement was reached.
Jeremy Corbyn, the leader of the Labour Party, chaired talks with the opposition on Tuesday, agreeing that passing a law to force the government to seek to postpone its withdrawal from Europe might receive the most support.
The opposition is trying to repeat what it did earlier this year when parliamentarians gained control of the parliamentary agenda and passed a law forcing former Prime Minister Teresa May to seek a delay in withdrawing from Europe.
They also amended legislation requiring Parliament to meet for a few days in September and October, making it more difficult for Johnson to reach a no-agreement exit through a parliamentary recess, and Johnson did not rule out the possibility of doing so.
