Corbyn seeks clarity on 'unconstitutional' election-time no-deal Brexit
The UK will leave the EU on 31 October with or without a deal unless Article 50 is extended or revoked.
However, if another candidate can secure the confidence of the Commons then, under cabinet rules, Mr Johnson would be expected to resign and recommend the Queen appoints the other person.But according to the Sunday Telegraph, Dominic Cummings, the PM's senior adviser at No 10, told MPs that, even if Mr Johnson lost a no-confidence vote, it would not prevent him taking the UK out of the EU by the agreed deadline.
Mr Corbyn added that a Labour government would never support a no-deal Brexit, and so would"want the opportunity to take a different view". The idea is to stop what is, effectively, a caretaker government from implementing decisions that the next government might disagree with.The UK's withdrawal from the EU has been the legal default since MPs voted to trigger Article 50 in March 2017.
