UK PM to make another bid for snap election

Britain’s Prime Minister is expected back in London soon to push for an early election before parliament is suspended for the next five weeks.

Earlier on Monday morning, Boris Johnson made a fleeting visit to Ireland, where he made a rare admission that a no-deal Brexit would be a failure of diplomacy.

Labour, the SNP, the Liberal Democrats, the Green Party, the Independent Group for Change and Plaid Cymru met on Monday morning and agreed not to back the motion for an election.
