Johnson's government

For all its tough talk against Russia, the U.K.'s government is failing to enforce its promises to clean up dirty foreign money, a hard-hitting report by MPs said yesterday.

 British PM Boris Johnson said on Monday his government was hopeful that non-essential international travel would restart from 17 May, following the unveiling of a new traffic light system, news wires reported.

The referendum will happen if Sturgeon wins the Scottish elections scheduled for May.
Such a move would bring her into conflict with Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who opposes a new vote on secession, reports the AP.
Scotland voted to stay in the UK with 55% to 45% in the 2014 referendum.

In a speech to the European Parliament on Friday,  European Union's chief Brexit negotiator, Michel Barnier gave a stark assessment of the ultimatum the EU is giving to the British: access to the EU's single market will be conditional on keeping British fishing waters open to boats from the bloc.

British Queen Elisabeth II had approved Boris Johnson's plan to suspend Parliament, the English Council of State had noted. Opposition members of Parliament have today reacted with outrage over the move, which they say severely restricts their ability to scrutinize the government's Brexit plans.

He specified that if this is not the case, UK will exit EU without an agreement, Johnson's spokesperson stated.
"Prime Minister is willing to sit down and negotiate, as soon as their position changes", his spokesperson said, Reuters reports.
