UK Labour's Plan to Stop No-Deal Brexit Gets Mixed Reception

Associated Press

   LONDON - Britain's fractious opposition politicians are giving a mixed
   reception to a plan by Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn to block a
   no-deal Brexit.

   Prime Minister Boris Johnson has vowed that Britain will leave the EU
   on Oct. 31, with or without a divorce deal. Many economists say a
   no-deal Brexit will cause economic turmoil.

   Corbyn has written to other parties saying he plans to call a
   no-confidence vote in Johnson's government when Parliament returns from
   its summer break in September.
   He says Parliament should then unite behind a Corbyn-led "temporary
   government" that would seek a delay to Brexit and call a national
   election.
   Some lawmakers welcomed the idea. But Jo Swinson, leader of the pro-EU
   Liberal Democrats, said Thursday that the idea was "nonsense" because
   Corbyn is a divisive figure.
