Prime Minister Johnson Vows Brexit With “No Ifs Or Buts”

Legal Insurrection:

Newly-appointed British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has vowed to take his country out of the European Union within the next 99 days.

“We will come out on 31 October, no ifs and no buts,” Boris Johnson said in his first public speech as prime minister on Wednesday. “The British people are tired of waiting. The time has come to act.”

Johnson promised “a new deal and a better deal,” which echoes the advice President Donald Trump gave outgoing Prime Minister Theresa May.

The prime minister warned that the UK will withhold 39 billion pounds (or $49 billion) in a “divorce settlement” imposed by the EU if Brussels refuses to offer better terms than the ones on the table.

“Don’t forget that in the event of a no deal outcome we will have that extra lubrication of the £39 billions,” he added.
