UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson will “keep to the plan” to leave the European Union and will not try to negotiate a deal to delay Britain’s departure, two allies said Sunday.
Under a law that is expected to take effect Monday, Johnson (inset) must seek a delay from Brexit if Parliament fails to approve a divorce deal by Oct. 19.
Johnson had vowed to leave the EU by Oct. 31 — with or without a deal.
Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said Johnson will abide by the Brexit referendum passed in 2016 by forging ahead.
“I do also think that on some of these key issues, people need to understand, and the voters get it, that we’ve got to keep to the plan,” Raab said.
He said the bill approved by Parliament last week that Queen Elizabeth II is expected to sign into law Monday “is a bad piece of legislation.”
“We will also want to test to the limit what it does actually lawfully require. We will look very carefully at the implications and our interpretation of it,” he said.
Finance Minister Sajid Javid said Johnson will attend an EU summit on Oct. 17 to secure a Brexit deal.
“First of all, the prime minister will go to the council meeting on the 17th and 18th [of October], he’ll be trying to strike a deal. He absolutely will not be asking for an extension in that meeting,” Javid said.

Leave already:)
Good!
EU won’t negotiate deal either, they want to humiliate
Brits so all others thinking of also leaving won’t.
Whatever results in a clean break Brexit is just fine.
Boris will come back with the Theresa May plan plus northern Ireland in a backstop (not the whole UK), get it approved by parliament and leave with may deal 2.0 and he’ll be acclaimed a hero for delivering Brexit
How is the current deal humiliating in your opinion?
And they have constantly said that they are not only willing but waiting to deal and Boris hasn’t got back to them yet
sheesh, no kidding. Wasting years, just like the Dems wasting years to investigate Trump instead of passing a single piece of significant Pro-America legislation.
Hmmmmm.....You'd almost think they didn't want ANY Pro-American legislation...
if we ever get to a 1 world Government...the 3rd world nations will control everything by majority vote!...Good Times for EVERYBODY!...What could go wrong??... isnt that the way democracy works?..... as far as this "Republic" $hit works...I dont get it I guess....../s
