Boris Johnson announced he would be calling for a snap election on Monday for December 12th. Leader of the House, Jacob Rees-Mogg savaged the Labour Party for their objection to a general election and insistence that they would not support it unless a no deal Brexit has been taken off the table. He said:  “In Boris Johnson’s letter to the opposition my right honourable friend said: We will make available all possible time between now and the 6th of November.

“We Mr Speaker are willing to start work tomorrow if you are willing to recall Parliament.

“We are willing to work 24 hours a day between and then.”

Mr Rees-Mogg was then drowned out by cheers and groans from the House of Commons.

Speaking of Labour’s claim that they had not had long enough to scrutinise Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal, he continued: “Even eternity is to short to extol thee.

“It seems to me that eternity is too short for the opposition.

“This is because their opposition is fantasy opposition.

“They don’t want Brexit and no matter how much time we give them, they will come back with some foolish objection.”

Boris Johnson said he is willing to grant Parliament extra time to scrutinise his proposed Brexit deal if MPs agree to hold a general election on December 12

Parliamentarians earlier this week threw a spanner in the Prime Minister’s plans to fast-track his Brexit deal by voting down his timetable despite endorsing the agreement minutes before.

The Prime Minister announced his plans on Sky News on Thursday evening.

He said: “The way to get this done, the way to get Brexit done is to be reasonable with Parliament and say, if they genuinely want more time to study this excellent deal, they can have it but they have to agree to a general election on December 12.

“That’s the way forward. because this Parliament’s been going on for a long time with a majority, it’s refusing to deliver Brexit.

Mr Johnson continued: “What we’ve decided is that we have a way forward for this country and for the EU – we’ve got a great deal on Brexit for the first time in three and a half years this Parliament has voted to endorse a way out.

“Unfortunately, they also voted to delay the final approval of that deal they endorsed. What that means, I’m afraid, is if this Parliament is anything to go by, that delay could go on for a very long time.

“It looks as if our EU friends are going to respond to Parliament’s request by having an extension – which I really don’t want.”
