LONDON - British lawmakers are preparing legal action in case Prime Minister Boris Johnson tries to defy legislation compelling him to seek a further delay to Brexit, opposition Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn said on Saturday .
Saturday's Daily Telegraph newspaper reported that the prime minister is prepared to defy parliament's instruction to request an extension to the Brexit process if he fails to agree a new deal."We're in quite extraordinary territory when the prime minister says he is above the law," Corbyn told Sky News.
David Lidington, who was deputy prime minister under May, said that obeying the rule of law was a fundamental principle of the ministerial code.Lidington resigned just before Johnson took office. Johnson failed to win enough support in a vote on Wednesday for an election. Another vote is scheduled for Monday.
