Boris Johnson Dares Opposition to Vote no-Confidence in His Government

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson urged MPs to call a vote of no confidence in his government in his first statement to parliament since the Supreme Court ruled its suspension unlawful, euronews reports.

He was defiant and unapologetic as he addressed MPs just hours after returning from the United Nations after parliament was recalled by the speaker, John Bercow, "as a matter of urgency."

Later in the evening, Jacob Rees Mogg told MPs that if any opposition leader asked for a vote of no confidence, the government would agree to it.

He said it was "an unprecendented, but time-limited offer."

"I think the people of this country have had enough," Johnson said earlier. "This parliament must either stand aside... or bring a vote of confidence and finally face a day of reckoning with the voters."
