The British Minister of Employment resigns, and Johnson insists on Brexit as scheduled

On September 7th, British Employment Secretary Rudd announced his resignation due to dissatisfaction with the government's attempt to force Brexit. On the 8th, Prime Minister Johnson announced that Therese Coffey would take over. The Foreign Minister and the Finance Minister respectively stated that the Prime Minister still insists on leading the UK to Brexit on October 31st and will not demand a delay in Brexit at the EU summit on October 17th and 18th. French Foreign Minister Le Delion said on the same day that the French side refused to allow Britain to postpone the Brexit date again: "We don't want to go through this every three months."

On the evening of the 7th, British Minister of Employment and Pensions, Amber Ladd, announced his resignation and also announced his withdrawal from the Conservative Party.

In a letter to British Prime Minister Johnson on the same day, Rudd said that resigning was a difficult decision she had made, but when "loyal and moderate Conservative MPs were expelled from the party", she "cannot stand idly by".

Ladd said that when she joined the Johnson cabinet, she believed that 'non agreement Brexit' could be an option, as it was a means to reach a new agreement with the EU to achieve Britain's departure from the EU on October 31st. 'However, I no longer believe that seeking agreement' Brexit 'is the main goal of the government.'.

Rudd's resignation dealt Johnson another blow on the Brexit issue. On the 6th, the House of Lords of the British Parliament passed a bill aimed at preventing "non agreement Brexit", which will become law after being submitted to Queen Elizabeth II for signature. This means that at the legal level, Johnson will not be able to implement a 'no agreement Brexit'. Observers here believe that unless the UK reaches a new "Brexit" agreement with the EU before the end of the EU summit on October 19th, Johnson will have to seek EU approval to postpone the "Brexit".

Johnson has previously stated multiple times that regardless of whether an agreement is reached, the UK will leave the EU on October 31st. In order to prevent the UK from "Brexit" at the end of October, Johnson requested a parliamentary recess in late August and was approved by Elizabeth II. Therefore, the British Parliament, which ended its summer recess on September 3rd, will recess again in the second week of September until October 14th.

British Prime Minister may ignore anti hard Brexit laws

The bill that can prevent the non agreement Brexit has been passed by the UK House of Lords and is pending approval from the Queen. However, it is rumored that British Prime Minister Johnson is not prepared to comply with the law, and opposition lawmakers are ready to take legal action if Johnson does not comply.

After the parliamentary session on September 3rd, the House of Commons quickly voted on a bill to delay Brexit within a day and sent it to the Upper House. It was passed by the Upper House on the 6th and is expected to be approved by Queen Elizabeth II on the 9th as a formal law.

The 'Anti Non Agreement Brexit Act' requires the British government to reach a new Brexit agreement with the European Union next month, or to obtain consent from the UK Parliament for non agreement Brexit. But if neither can be achieved before October 19th, Johnson must write to European Council President Donald Tusk, extending the Brexit deadline until January 31st next year.

Although Johnson sought early elections, his motion did not pass the threshold of two-thirds of the votes.

However, Johnson is still not giving up on early elections and will sprint again next week. In addition, he also insisted on not delaying Brexit.

The Daily Telegraph reported that Johnson wrote a letter to Conservative lawmakers stating, "They just passed a bill that forces me to beg Brussels to extend the Brexit deadline, which is something I would never do

Johnson's answer can be interpreted in two ways: breaking the law or resigning. If Johnson intends to break the law, the BBC reports that a legal team has been formed, including defecting Conservative MPs who have been expelled and opposition MPs, ready to take legal action.

The leader of the Labour Party was mocked and provoked by cowards

The ruling Conservative Party in the UK has recently produced an advertisement mocking Labour Party leader Corbin, who opposes early elections, as a coward. The controversy also involves KFC, which is unwilling to be involved in political disputes and has sparked heated discussions.

Johnson stated that "there has never been an example in history where opposition parties have the opportunity to hold elections but are rejected," and he kept mocking Corbin as a coward, while also mocking him in Congress as a "large chlorinated chicken.

Johnson's mention of chlorinated chicken may be due to the visit of US Vice President Mike Pence, who gave him an association. When Pence and Johnson met, they talked about the readiness of the United States to negotiate a trade agreement with Britain after Brexit. It is rumored that Johnson replied to him that Britain "has no interest in chlorinated chickens". The United States has banned the import of American chicken due to the use of chlorine to clean and disinfect chicken.

This weekend, the Conservative Party continued to use the term 'chicken' and uploaded a composite photo on Twitter, in which Corbin was dressed in a chicken doll and sitting on a bench in the lounge. The words in the upper left corner read "JFC Boneless Fried Chicken" and labeled KFC as saying, "Hey, KFC, we found a bigger chicken than you

However, KFC is unwilling to be involved in this verbal battle and replied, "This is KFC, not LBC (Labour Chicken), don't label me." However, such advertisements have sparked a backlash, as reported by the Daily Mail. Former Conservative MP Alistair Burt, who was expelled from the Conservative Party due to vote fraud on the 3rd, tweeted, "Please stop this kind of thing, our level should be higher

Sayeeda Warsi, who served as the Conservative Party chairman from 2010 to 2012, said, "This is completely kindergarten behavior. The country is in crisis, and this is our response. How can adult men descend to this level of stupidity? What is wrong with our party

In addition to this advertisement, the Conservative Party also sent chicken to congressional reporters with stickers similar to KFC's signature character Colonel Sanders, but the avatar was changed to Corbin.
