A deal between the EU and the UK on Brexit is still far away as diplomats indicated the Union wanted more concessions from PM Boris Johnson, which makes signing an agreement this week unlikely, news wires reported. Johnson claims he wants to strike an exit deal at an EU summit on Thursday and Friday to allow an orderly departure on 31 October but if an agreement is not possible he will lead the UK out of the Union without a deal, although parliament has passed a law saying he cannot do so.

Mere days before a crucial EU leaders summit and three weeks before the current Brexit deadline, 31 October, the UK and the EU seem as far as ever in the last three years concerning compromise on the way Britain is to leave the Union, news wires reported. While British PM Boris Johnson played bravely with a plan for a last-minute deal, the EU told him significant concessions should be made in order to reach an accord.

Brexit process was once again thrown in chaos last week after the UK Supreme Court ruled that PM Boris Johnson has prorogued the parliament unlawfully and the MPs rushed to reconvene in order to stop plans for Brexit on 31 October on “with or without a deal”, news wires reported. Talking to parliament last Wednesday evening Johnson insisted he would not seek another Brexit extension and asked MPs either to bring down the government or let him deliver Brexit.

United Kingdom’s Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday that Prime Minister Boris Johnson acted unlawfully advising Queen Elizabeth to suspend parliament just weeks before Brexit and that therefore the legislature had not been prorogued, news wires reported.

The Withdrawal Agreement is fair, balanced and provides legal certainty, MEPs said last Wednesday in a resolution reiterating Parliament's support for an “orderly Brexit”. With the vote, they reaffirmed EP's support for the already negotiated deal and stressed that it takes into account the UK's red lines and the EU's principles, providing a fair and balanced solution, the EP press service reported.

British PM Boris Johnson arrived today in Luxembourg for talks with EC President Jean-Claude Juncker hoping for a breakthrough in a stalled Brexit talks, news wires reported. With less than seven weeks until Britain is due to leave the EU, Johnson has yet to reach an agreement with Brussels on how to manage the exit in a non-hurting way.

The gap between Britain and the European Union in Brexit talks is “very wide” and British proposals on the Irish border fall very far short of what is needed, Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar said on Friday.

Mass protests, disrupted cross-Channel trade and chaos threaten Britain in case of a no-deal Brexit, according to a report released by the government last Wednesday. Called “Operation Yellowhammer” and prepared six weeks ago just days after Boris Johnson became prime minister, it forms the basis of government no-deal planning, Reuters reported.

With eight weeks to go until the UK's withdrawal from the EU on 31 October and in light of the continued uncertainty and lack of agreement, the Commission reiterated last Wednesday its call to all stakeholders to prepare for a no-deal scenario. The EC stressed in its 6th Brexit preparedness communication that with the overall political situation in the UK a no-deal scenario on 1 November remains a possible, although undesirable, outcome.

British PM Boris Johnson on Wednesday asked for holding snap election on 15 October after lawmakers seeking to prevent a no-deal Brexit dealt him a humiliating defeat in parliament. Parliament’s move leaves Brexit in limbo, with possible outcomes ranging from a turbulent no-deal exit to abandoning it at all.
