PM claims it is still possible to achieve Brexit on 31 October

Boris Johnson has repeatedly refused to rule out the possibility the UK would leave the EU on 31 October, contradicting statements made by the chancellor, Sajid Javid, this morning. 'Of course 31 October is still possible,' the prime minister said, adding that the UK was still waiting for an extension decision from the EU. Johnson said: 'It is up to the EU to decide whether or not we stay in the EU and it is up to the EU how long that extension would be.' He also said Jeremy Corbyn should support an election
