Tension in parliament as UK PM Johnson says no to Brexit extension

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Wednesday that he would not seek an extension to Brexit even if the conditions of a recently passed bill were met. Opposition parties recently forced through a new law requiring the government to ask for a delay to Brexit beyond the deadline of October 31. In a session that saw emotions riding high, Johnson was jeered when left the chamber as lawmakers debated, despite the house speaker telling him it would be a good manners to stay. Britain's ruling Conservative Party on Thursday will ask lawmakers to approve a short suspension of parliament next week to allow the party to hold its annual conference, House of Commons leader said.
