UK PM sends unsigned letter to EU asking for Brexit delay 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy ReutersLONDON – Prime Minister Boris Johnson sent an unsigned letter to the European Union requesting a delay to Britain’s exit from the bloc and also said he did not want the extension after his latest Brexit setback in parliament on Saturday. Johnson had previously said he would rather be “dead in a ditch” than ask for any extension to the Oct. 31 deadline. “I will not negotiate a delay with the EU and neither does the law compel me to do so,” he told parliament after lawmakers backed the amendment on Saturday. “Johnson is a Prime Minister who is now treating Parliament and the Courts with contempt,” John McDonnell, the opposition Labour Party’s finance spokesman said.
