Sunday Times:

"The mood will calm down again, but one thing is strikingly clear: if there is a new election, we should not delay it further." After Downing Street has tricked in the adjournment of parliament, Boris Johnson's opponents could call for a delay in the elections, to prevent a no-deal Brexit, but at the moment, such arguments are inappropriate, and the Labor Party insists it is not afraid to vote, and it should prove it. "

"The Guardian":

"The day ended in chaos, with a bad-tempered Jacob Rees-Mogg refusing to tell anyone what the government is planning for the coming week and might try to vote on their proposal on Monday - maybe there should be votes, some significant, others meaningless, a donkey parliament led by nematodes, and not even intelligent. "

"Mail on Sunday":

"National blood pressure has reached a dangerous point Can our political class really not understand that they can no longer pretend that they were playing teenage games in a college debating club?

Any further failed attempt by Parliament to agree on a regulated Brexit increases the pressure on our constitution. The trust in the lower house, place of wisdom, experience and responsibility, is almost completely lost. And it will not be back soon. As the PM yesterday quite rightly said, the behavior of MPs eats up public confidence. Much more of that, and our whole tradition of parliamentary politics could be endangered. "

"Neue Zürcher Zeitung am Sonntag":

"It is not enough to prevent a no-deal exit, because at some point you have to agree to a deal for that, and MEPs must stop pursuing only regional or party-political interests." The point now is to get the country out of its blockade If Parliament shatters Johnson's contract next week, there will only be one thing: new elections, and many will laugh. "

"Time Online":

"The tug-of-war with Parliament, saddened by it, will continue even further, because even if this deal is really decided by 31 October, negotiations will start again, with a free-trade agreement between the EU and the UK by the end of 2020 And at the end of it again is the danger of no-deal-Brexit, so this Saturday was again only an insignificant intermediate step on the gruelingly long path of Great Britain from the EU.
