Boris Johnson will call General Election before October 31, says Welsh Brexit Party MEP

A Welsh Brexit Party MEP has told Euronews he believes Boris Johnson will call a General Election before the Brexit deadline of October 31st.

Nathan Gill said he believed it would happen on Thursday October 24th.

Johnson, the UK's new Prime Minister, has undertaken the biggest overhaul of a cabinet in history as he faces what some commentators consider the most daunting set of challenges for the UK since the Second World War.

Gill believes that, faced with this, Johnson has no option but to try to strengthen his hand:

"He has a (parliamentary) majority of about three; him becoming Prime Minister has not changed the arithmetic, so I think there's going to have to be a General Election before the 31 October deadline to say he has the mandate to leave without a deal."
