Task cut out for UK PM-designate Boris Johnson: Brexit in 100 days

Prime minister-designate Boris Johnson has 100 days to deliver on his promise of leading the UK out of the European Union (EU).

The Brexit deal his predecessor struck with the bloc is “dead”, “defunct” and “needs to be junked”, he said during the leadership campaign. He’s vowed to renegotiate Brexit, and to quit the bloc on October 31, with or without a deal to smooth the split.

So what’s his strategy, and what stands in his way?

Proposal: Renegotiate withdrawal deal

Johnson wants to scrap the deal Theresa May struck and restructure the whole negotiation that was agreed at the start of the process.
