The EU has granted the UK a flexible extension to the Brexit process until January 31, EU Council President Donald Tusk says
That was Boris Johnson's repeated promise to the British people -- Brexit would not be delayed again, and the UK would leave the European Union on October 31.
But as the week of the scheduled exit arrives, European leaders have granted the country a reprieve and approved its request for a third delay to the process. It means the UK will avoid a no-deal break on Thursday. But for Johnson, who said he'd rather be"dead in a ditch" than delay the saga again, the inability to deliver a Halloween Brexit is little short of a nightmare.
A decision on the delay has just been announced. Then, this afternoon, the second big moment of the day takes place: Parliament will vote on Johnson's attempt to force a Christmas general election -- and a potential route out of the torturous Brexit impasse. This was supposed to be the week of Brexit. That may not be the case -- but the next few days could, at least, pave a course out of Britain's political chaos.
