But the PM declined to say if he’d resign if the exit day was delayed. Whilst the PM has continuously said he would be prepared to leave the EU without a deal, Labour is committed to stopping a no-deal Brexit. Thursday was another tough day for the PM after his brother Jo Johnson quit as a minister and MP. Jo who had backed Remain in 2016 was called a “fantastic guy” by the PM.
