seek an extension beyond october 31st this is the site the fact that a law is about to come into force compelling him to ask for a delay if no withdrawal agreement is in place now any deal a must be approved by the e.u. and france is suggesting it would block any british request for one. with how things are now it's still no to pushing back to break that deadline the u.k. says they want to push forward alternatives to avoid a no deal we haven't received anything so we still know we're not going to start over every 3 months it's up to the u.k. to show us the way forward. later on monday johnson is expected to ask parliamentary again approve a snap election opposition m.p.'s rejected the idea last week insisting that a no deal bracks be ruled out 1st johnson's short time in power has proven to mulch us he's lost his conservative government government's majority and expelled $21.00 so-called rebel m.p.'s one of whom is the grandson of when still churchill florence

the reports. london's parliament square is graced with a statue of britain's most famous politician and the ghost of winston churchill his legacy and beliefs have very much been on people's minds in this extraordinary contradictory week. when parliament resumes prime minister boris johnson himself a biographer of churchill invoked the language and even the intonation of the wartime leader to suggest that the u.k. was somehow in a conflict with the european union when he used the very same words about the e.u. that churchill had done about nazi germany in 1944 you never surrender that sort of language comes from the playbook of johnson's new chief of staff dominic cummings a brick sit idealogue behind the slogan take back control and cummings many believe was also behind the brutal treatment of those conservatives who could not accept johnson's agenda contrary to the prime minister's assertion one of those was nicholas soames

a conservative grandy summarily sacks with 20 others for refusing to support johnson's do or die approach to leaving the european union but his speech after being told he was no longer welcome says johnson's conservative party was extraordinary not least because johnson had sacked the grandson of winston churchill where they were together in 1954. i am truly very sad that it should end in this way only does my most fervent hope that this house will rediscover the spirit of compromise humility. am understand that will enable arsed finery took push ahead with a vital work in the interests of the hope country sitting in front of soames was another conservative rebel richard benyon who was also sachs me the next day he told me of his concerns about the direction the party he loved was being taken in the ass shit shooters some of the people who are around the prime innocent not so

not that only coming suspects give you know yes and you know i think they have a big responsibility for the size that are 1000000000 last night and some of things that was said to colleagues mind more extraordinary the generally held of you is of the johnson administration is now so terrified of nigel farage is breck's it party that despises the european union but it will no longer broke any dissents it was faraj who staters in british politics force the breck's a referendum in the 1st place and now it seems he is dr in the conservative party to adopt his venus consequently today's conservative party finds itself at war with the european union and with itself its legacy and relationship with its most famous son the irony is unlawful know anyone that off of the 2nd world war churchill gave all of his most famous speech is in which he called for the creation of united states of europe a cons and working together economically and socially for the greats

a good that phrase united states of europe is used by breck sitters including those inside the john's that ministration as the biggest insults of all so new found love of the european union from those terrified of brick since is now force johnson in swill corner and put easily lead to his resignation in the coming weeks the conservative party has a lot of thinking to do lawrence lee al-jazeera london now although conservative rubble i'm piece a they don't want a general elections some say it's inevitable were guard le serve when it comes one of the her titus battles will be in the city of canterbury in $27.00 seen labor want to surprise victory there snatching this seed from the conservatives whole brannan explains the river star winds serenely through historic camp to bring far from the political storms of westminster punters glide on crystal clear water braving september. it's a far from typical constituency but

a crucial battleground you get the students who are on the whole very very liberal usually on the on the left of center. then but you also go to a fairly affluent section of canterbury. who in my experience can be quite a grew a civil a conservative tourism is big business here more than $7000000.00 visitors a year generating $550000000.00. uncertainty has a direct impact and we actually had a number of a number of school groups from from europe council because they were concerned about chaos in the laser kalai and they're worried about having their kids stuck in traffic for hours and hours and hours in 2017 the city's 40000 strong student body helped return a labour m.p. here a shock result in a strongly conservative region with the next election date still uncertain only the

conservative party has so far named its candidate and she's already knocking on doors stockpiling campaign materials and mobilizing supporters i want a general election i want to get the people of canterbury the chance to vote for a conservative because i've got a big program and i want to get on with delivering so from my point here it can't come soon enough. the timing will be crucial an early election might reduce the size of the significant student vote and tactical campaigning might also emerge. if there's some kind of alliance be an official alliance or an unofficial alliance i think people might vote for that i think they'll be a lot of conservative voters who are not of the the mindset that says that. new deal is better than no exit what if the prime minister ploughs on regardless and ignores parliament is beginning to look like parliament isn't respected parliament has not been respected by the government and it's

a wholly unprecedented situation it really just throw into question the whole idea of parliamentary democracy in britain it's quite scary to be honest the 2017 election results here in cancer was perhaps the result soul of some unique practice the large student population the lackluster campaign for by the city conservative candidates but just as sure as pilgrim 600 years ago came to this city seeking enlightenment political observers could do a lot worse than look to this constituency as an indicator of the results of the next general election paul brennan al-jazeera countering. british airways has grounded most of its flights after a pilot went on a 2 day strike over an ongoing pay dispute the walkout would be the company's 1st involving pilots since the 1970 s. thousands of passengers had to make other travel arrangements or were given a refund further industrial action is planned for september 27
