Is it possible for the opposition Labor party in the United Kingdom to split the Tories' government on the question of a no-deal Brexit? And are they still keeping their country out of the European Union without an agreement?

In ranks of the British government of Prime Minister and Tory boss Boris Johnson apparently grows the concern that some of their own MPs overrun the political opponent, and say goodbye to the Johnson sought after suspension of the parliament, a no-deal brake.

Just before the return of Parliament from the summer vacation, Johnson has canceled a planned Monday meeting with opponents of his Brexit course from within his own ranks. Thus, the signs are on storm: When the parliament meets again on Tuesday for the first time, is expected to unparalleled dispute.

As the broadcaster BBC reports, the Tory party therefore vows its MPs not to come in any case against the opposition Labor group of Jeremy Corbyn.

An unnamed Tory whip, whose job it is to secure majorities in the House of Commons, told the broadcaster that a bill banning a no-deal Brexit for late October would "destroy" the negotiating options of the Johnson administration. In addition, they would then "hand over control of Parliament to Corbyn."

Labor Shadow Minister: Prevent "crash landing without a deal"

Similarly, the PM expressed himself in an interview with the Johnson-friendly Sunday Times. He accused his opponents of torpedoing his chance of making the EU concessions on the withdrawal agreement. "The only thing that undermines Britain's opportunity to negotiate with the EU is if Brussels thinks (...) Brexit could be blocked." Minister of State Michael Gove said he sees the EU ready for new negotiations. The talks will start in Brussels shortly.

This was different in a commentary by EU chief negotiator Michel Barnier in the Sunday Telegraph. The EU had gone as far as the contract negotiated but rejected by the lower house as it was possible for a non-member. There are no more concessions. "The EU will only act to protect its interests," he wrote.

In the UK, the indignation over head of government Johnson is currently great, because the Prime Minister wants to be on leave next week Parliament until 14 October. Johnson's goal is apparently to prevent a law that would ban Brexit without a deal.

Labor shadow minister for Brexit, Keir Starmer, wants to prevent a "crash landing without a deal"

On Sunday, Labor Party Brexit Shadow Minister Keir Starmer said his party was pursuing a "very simple" goal: preventing Boris Johnson from leaving the EU without a deal. It is about a "very short, simple approach to ensure that we do not lay down a crash landing without a deal." Obviously, that means "we need an extension on October 31," Stramer said.

British citizens seem to want the government to swear by an advertising campaign for an early exit from the EU - for a Brexit on October 31, no matter how, as Johnson promised. "Get ready for Brexit," plots the Home Office - for those who have not heard it yet.
