UK's Labor discusses timing of no confidence vote with Conservative lawmakersTEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - Boris Johnson, the frontrunner to become prime minister this month, has said Britain must leave the European Union on Oct. 31 with or without a deal. Several Conservative lawmakers have said they would consider voting to try to bring down a government which was pursuing a no-deal Brexit.

"We will call a no confidence vote when we believe that those Conservative members of parliament who have said that they would support a no confidence motion in the government in order to stop a no deal are likely to support it," Gardiner told Sky News.

Asked if Labor was having conversations with those lawmakers, Gardiner said "Of course".
