British lawmakers are preparing legal action in case Prime Minister Boris Johnson tries to defy legislation compelling him to seek a further delay to Brexit. An opposition bill which would force Johnson to ask the European Union for an extension to Britain’s departure to avoid an October 31 exit without a transition deal was approved by parliament’s appointed upper chamber, the House of Lords, on Friday and Queen Elizabeth is expected to sign it into law on Monday. Labour MP Hilary Benn said the bill will provide time to go into court, if the government “doesn’t do what’s required..by parliament”.

The five-week suspension of Parliament will begin later today, after MPs are expected to again reject government calls for a snap election. Opposition MPs confirmed they would not back the push for a 15 October poll, insisting a law blocking a no-deal Brexit must be implemented first. At present, UK law states that the country will leave the EU on 31 October, regardless of whether a withdrawal deal has been agreed with Brussels or not. The new legislation, due to get royal assent later, changes that, and will force the PM to seek a delay to 31 January 2020 unless…

The PM faces a showdown in Parliament later as MPs aim to take control of the agenda to stop a no-deal Brexit. Ex-chancellor and Tory rebel Philip Hammond said he thought there was enough support for the bill, seeking to delay the UK’s exit date, to pass. No 10 officials warned the prime minister would push for an election on 14 October if the government loses. Boris Johnson said he did not want an election and progress with the EU would be “impossible” if MPs won. Meanwhile, Jeremy Corbyn said the Labour Party was ready for a general election. But…
