British Prime Minister on Sunday renewed his vow to take the country out of the European Union by the Brexit deadline, in an apparent contradiction of a government pledge in court days earlier to ask for an extension if there's no withdrawal deal.

"We will be packing our bags and walking out on" October 31, Boris Johnson wrote in The Sun on Sunday and Sunday Express newspapers.

"The only question is whether Brussels cheerily waves us off with a mutually agreeable deal or whether we will be forced to head off on our own."
