Opposition parties will plot their next move ahead of the UK Prime Minister pushing again for an election and suspending parliament for a month.
A law forcing Boris Johnson to try to avoid a no-deal Brexit is coming into force Monday, as some MPs consider trying to impeach him.
The bill, which led to the sacking of more than 20 Conservative MPs who rebelled against the government, is expected to receive Royal Assent from the Queen later today.
Back home, the fallout could continue after Work and Pensions Secretary Amber Rudd quit the cabinet and the Conservatives.
Opposition parties will likely discuss how to force Mr Johnson to obey the legislation to avoid no-deal on 31 October, after he said he would rather be “dead in a ditch” than comply with it.
With a move to suspend parliament this week, the stakes are even higher with the battle lines drawn ahead of the Brexit deadline.
But according to The Daily Telegraph, the prime minister is preparing measures to legally stop any Brexit extension.
The newspaper reported that Mr. Johnson’s advisers held a meeting on Sunday on how to counter parliament’s attempts to enforce a three-month Brexit extension if no new deal is agreed.
Monday will also see the prime minister push for a second time for an early general election.
Mr. Johnson tried unsuccessfully last week when the anti-no-deal legislation was rushed through both houses of parliament in three days, saying it had wrecked the UK’s negotiating position.
He will need two-thirds of MPs’ support – 434 in total – but opposition parties have already said they will vote against it again.
They want European Union 27 leaders to agree to delay Brexit from 31 October to January 2020 before backing an early election.
Monday could also be MPs’ last day in Westminster for a while, as the government plans to suspend parliament on an as-yet-unknown day this week until 14 October.
