British Prime Minister
Boris Johnson braced for another showdown in parliament on Wednesday after a humiliating defeat over his
Brexit strategy, with MPs set to vote on a law aimed at blocking a no-deal departure.
Johnson has said he will seek an early general
election if MPs vote against him again, intensifying a dramatic political crisis ahead of his October 31 Brexit deadline.
In a sign of the government's determination, finance minister Sajid Javid will also on Wednesday unveil another £2 billion (2.2 billion euros, $2.4 billion) of funding to deal with Brexit, including for new port infrastructure.
