the red cross point of view explaining to boris johnson just how disastrous he thinks no deal on bret's would be. and for the peace process as well as the united kingdom and boris johnson has perhaps had a chance to float some of the rather vague ideas he seems to have about how it might be possible to replace this insurance policy the irish backstop with something else that would mean there wouldn't have to be a border the. right. next thing this snap election m.p.'s have voted against a quick election before this is being brought back to them they will vote again today it is likely to go against the government again why does bars johnson want this so much and why m.p.'s are so against it the only way he could possibly get round this new law in part. that says you cannot crash into the european union without an agreement is to win a new mage a majority and then change the law before october the 31st so that's why he's actually really been pushing he's been playing a game he's been trying to say i don't want this election you're forcing me to have it now he's playing another game he's s
