The Prime Minister will make one final bid on Tuesday to force his Brexit bill through Parliament to ensure the UK leaves the EU on October 31. He will ask MPs to support him in passing the withdrawal agreement on Tuesday and in getting it through the House of Commons by the end of Thursday. Mr Johnson will tell MPs: “We have negotiated a new deal so that we can leave without disruption and provide a framework for a new relationship based on free trade and friendly cooperation.

“We are leaving the European Union but we will always be European”. New polling figures show that the public stands squarely behind the Prime Minister’s deal, raising the pressure on MPs to get Brexit done. According to a Survation poll, 58 percent of voters want the UK to leave the EU with a deal. This is almost twice as many as last month, when only 33 percent were in favour of exiting the EU with an agreement.

The Government has insisted yet again that it will not countenance any further delay to Brexit. The Prime Minister was forced by the Benn act to send a letter requesting a further delay on Saturday, after Parliament succeeded in postponing a vote on Mr Johnson’s new Brexit deal. However, The Prime Minister refused to sign the letter and immediately sent a second one to EU heads, advising them not to grant the extension. A No 10 source said: ““We cannot allow Parliament’s letter to lead to Parliament’s delay — we must leave on October 31 and finally get Brexit done.” JUST IN

Nigel Farage

This is a significant drop for the Brexit Party, who emerged top of the polls at 24 percent in June, shortly before Mrs May resigned. Mr Farage saw a further dip in support recently when he revealed he preferred another Brexit delay over the Prime Minister’s deal. Mr Farage said the deal was “95 percent the same as Mrs May’s” and “the second-worst deal in history”.

He told Sky News: “I want a general election, so an extension for a few weeks into which we can have a general election is a much better outcome than signing up to a treaty that becomes part of international law that binds us in foreign policy and in many, many other areas. “We are going to have to be on a level playing field with the rest of Europe which means we still haven’t taken back control of our laws - this is not Brexit.” However, supporters of the Brexit Party were quick to criticise the stance.
