British PM fights threat of further delay in Brexit debate

Britain's Prime Minister Boris Johnson said further Brexit delay would be 'pointless and deeply corrosive'

Prime Minister Boris Johnson fought attempts Saturday to potentially further delay Britain's protracted departure from the European Union, as MPs debated his divorce deal less than two weeks before the Brexit deadline.

Parliament was holding its first Saturday sitting since the 1982 Falklands War to discuss the terms of a last-ditch divorce agreement Johnson struck with European Union leaders Thursday.
