Boris Johnson

Third runway to open between early 2028 and late 2029

Trade lanes will come to a halt if the U.K. exits the EU on October. 31, believes the Secretary-General of the European Shippers Council.

Boris Johnson will become the Prime Minister of the U.K. today, and will be assuming responsibility for the nature of the U.K.’s exit from the European Union.

As the Tory Party leadership battle, which will also see the election of a new Prime Minister, hots up the challengers are being buffeted by outside forces, pushing them further towards a hard Brexit.

Conservatives and Labour members rejected PM Theresa May’s latest attempt to get her Withdrawal Agreement through Parliament. The deal looked dead in the water, minutes after May’s speach.

Theresa May has agreed with her backbench Members of Parliament to set a date to resign her premiership shortly after the fourth meaningful vote in early June.

European Council leaders agreed to extend Article 50 again delaying the UK’s departure from the EU until no later than October 31, with the option of leaving earlier if possible.

European Commission President Jean-Claude Junker has ruled another short extension and Yvette Cooper’s new legislation have torpedoed Theresa May’s strategy for a rapid, pre-European election Brexit.
