British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is in for a rough time when he returns to the House of Commons this week.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson will be making his first appearance in the House of Commons since his Brexit deal was defeated on October 15th. The British prime minister’s Brexit deal was rejected by 432 votes to 202, marking the largest defeat for a government in history. This means that Britain is now set to leave the European Union without a deal on October 31st, as no alternative plan has been agreed upon. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has called for an emergency debate on standards at Westminster, which will take place on Monday October 28th. This debate will give MPs an opportunity to discuss how they feel about Mr Johnson’s behaviour during the recent Brexit negotiations and what they think should happen next.
Why did Boris Johnson lose so badly?
The biggest reason why Boris Johnson lost so badly is because he didn’t bother talking to other political parties before deciding that Britain would leave without a deal. Instead, he chose to make it clear that this was his preferred option from day one and spent little time negotiating with other political parties or trying to come up with another solution. It seems like he assumed that enough MPs would vote against any alternative plan and would therefore vote for his Brexit deal.
