Britain will leave EU by Oct 31 ‘come what may’- PM

Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Wednesday urged the EU to compromise as he prepared to submit a new Brexit plan but warned Britain was ready to leave without a deal on October 31, “come what may”.

Johnson said an alternative to a “compromise for both sides” — which included no customs checks “at or near” the Northern Irish border — was for Britain to leave without a deal, “an outcome for which we are ready”.
