Re: PM Boris forms a government
Thought this would get more notice...

Quote:
Boris Johnson says he would not seek Brexit delay even if it becomes law
Mr Johnson told journalists: "Alas, the Bill that is still before Parliament would make it – in theory it would mean that the Government of the UK was obliged to write a letter to Brussels asking for a pointless delay to leaving the EU.
"I don't think that's what people want. I think they were very clear about that.
"Not only would it oblige the Government to do that, but it would give the EU the power to decide how long the UK had to stay in.
"And I really cannot for the life of me think that that would be a democratic way forward.
"The big picture is look, we spent a long time trying to fudge this thing, and the British public really want us to get out, and they don't want more dither and delay."
Mr Johnson was then asked directly whether he would seek that extension if it is passed into law.
He replied: "I will not. I don't want to delay."
