Boris johnson reiterates no deal brexit threat
Boris Johnson, the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, has reiterated his threat to leave the European Union (EU) without a deal if the UK and EU do not reach an agreement on the terms of the UK's withdrawal.
In a speech to the Conservative Party conference in Manchester, Johnson said that the UK would "walk away" from the negotiating table if the EU did not agree to the UK's demands. He also warned that a no-deal Brexit would be "a great success" for the UK.
Johnson's comments come as the UK and EU are engaged in a series of talks aimed at reaching a deal on the terms of the UK's withdrawal from the EU. The talks have been ongoing for several months, but so far, the two sides have been unable to agree on key issues such as the border between the UK and Ireland and the rights of EU citizens living in the UK.
The UK is due to leave the EU on March 29, 2019, but the two sides have yet to agree on the terms of the withdrawal. If a deal is not reached, the UK could leave the EU without a deal, which could have significant economic and political implications for both the UK and the EU.
Johnson's comments have been met with criticism from some quarters, with some arguing that a no-deal Brexit would be a disaster for the UK economy and would cause significant disruption to trade and business. Others have argued that the UK should prioritize reaching a deal with the EU and avoid a no-deal scenario.
Overall, Johnson's comments highlight the ongoing uncertainty and tension surrounding the UK's withdrawal from the EU, and the potential risks and consequences of a no-deal Brexit.
