With options dwindling, the UK Prime Minister is primed for another weeklong battle
It was an apt end to a hellish week.The return of Parliament brought the new Prime Minister's honeymoon period to a crashing and miserable end days earlier. In the space of 72 torrid hours, Johnson lost control of the parliamentary order paper; saw his majority wiped away and his bullish Brexit strategy rebuked by lawmakers; suffered the ignominy of his own brother quitting his administration; and failed in his attempt to secure a snap general election.
It could be that the government has a cunning plan to make both ends meet -- perhaps tying the law up with legal challenges, or finding a way for Johnson to veto his own request for an extension.But eruptions in his party, in Parliament and possibly in the courts are likely if Johnson doesn't follow the letter of the legislation -- and the backlash could begin this week, when the PM will be pressed to reveal his next steps.Another sting in the tale, however, could come from Europe.
