PRESS ROOM
Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal turned down by UK parliament
Monday 21st October '19
Sterling jumped to its highest level in 5 months after leaders of the 27 EU countries endorsed a new Brexit deal with Prime Minister Boris Johnson. On Saturday the UK Parliament met in a special session to vote on the agreement and parliament voted against the deal as expected. The government has now asked the EU for an extension for talks beyond October 31 Brexit Deadline which is likely to result in either a new election or a second referendum. PM Johnson however intends to make a second attempt to push the deal through parliament this week.
