Johnson threatens to scrap Brexit bill and seek election before Christmas
PM faces down MPs pushing for concessions to prevent no deal before agreeing to timetable
Boris Johnson has threatened to pull the Brexit legislation and seek an election rather than accept a three-month delay, but hinted he could live with a very short extension from the EU.
Speaking in parliament on Tuesday, the prime minister attempted to stop MPs voting down his timetable for the legislation that gives them only three-days to scrutinise the bill.
