Mrjohnson is determined to leave the European Union on 31st october, ideally with a deal, otherwise without one. His government, though, has a majority in the commons ofjust one and 21 conservatives have signed a letter this week telling the Prime Minister his policy is wrong. If they did support a vote of no confidence and injected Boris Johnson from downing street, can they prevent a no deal brexit . Thats a good question, and this government of National Unity is the kind of thing a nation reaches for and people begin suggesting when there absolutely is no unity. Jeremy corbyns plan this week was to try to get other opposition people to unite behind him, and he would become Prime Minister and then he promised them this would be limited, he didnt say for how long, with the aim but not certainty of delivering aim but not certainty of delivering a general election and so on.
