UK PM Boris Johnson calls for 'common sense' compromise on Brexit
Theresa May's deal has been rejected three times by MPs and as things stand, the UK will leave the EU on 31 October whether it has agreed a new one or not.
These arrangements would apply unless and until both the EU and UK agreed they were no longer necessary.The Prime Minister's comments come amid growing speculation that opposition MPs will table a vote of no confidence in the government in a move to try and stop the UK leaving the EU without a deal. On Wednesday, shadow chancellor John McDonnell said he would expect Mr Johnson to step aside if he lost a no-confidence vote.
Asked whether he would resign in those circumstances, Mr Johnson said MPs should ensure Brexit takes place by the end of October.
