No solution to Brexit in sight

The daggers are drawn so are the battle lines in the British Parliament.

A bill to prevent Britain from leaving the European Union without a deal on Oct 31, and therefore forcing Prime Minister Boris Johnson to seek to delay Brexit, was to become law on Monday.

But in an apparent bid to prevent the bill from becoming law, the prime minister's spokesman said Parliament will be suspended at the end of business on Monday until the middle of October, emphasizing that Johnson will not sanction any more "pointless" delays to Brexit.
