Brexit Update

The EU extended the Brexit deadline until the end of the year, warning it may be the last. And opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn has indicated Labour will support PM Johnson’s call for an election in December. See an AFP story on this at Yahoo News.

As it stands now, polls suggest Boris Johnson will win that election and finally get a Commons majority for Leave. On the other hand, if we’ve learned anything about the Brexit process, it is to take nothing for granted until it actually occurs.

Who knew the Brits were such experts at kicking the can down the road? I’m guessing we’ll hear little about Brexit for the next month.
