Speculation Mounts Boris Johnson Will Call Snap Election

“Speculation is mounting that Boris Johnson could call a snap general election if backbench rebels succeed in passing a bill to delay Brexit, with a Downing Street source saying the issue would be treated as ‘an expression of confidence’ in the government,” the Guardian reports.

“Johnson’s cabinet ministers are being summoned for an emergency cabinet meeting on Monday afternoon.. Senior sources among the cross-party group of rebels say they believe Johnson could seek a snap general election as early as Wednesday.”
