Labour poised to unite with opposition against Johnson's second snap election bid

LABOUR MPs are poised to unite with other opposition parties tonight to vote against Boris Johnson’s second bid for an early general election, seeking to avoid the “nightmare” of a no-deal Brexit on October 31.

Several MPs have told the Star about their intentions and described the febrile mood in the Commons hours before the Prime Minister suspended Parliament for the next five weeks.

Shadow justice secretary Richard Burgon told the Star that his party hopes to usher in a “radical Labour government that serves the interests of our class just as much as Trump and Johnson serve theirs.”
