Brexit sitting of Parliament – what time will MPs sit and when will they vote on the new deal?
TODAY Boris Johnson secured a deal with the EU in Brussels but many Brexiteers are doubtful if the PM will stay true to his word.
Here's the latest on whether Boris Johnson will seek a Brexit extension after this week's EU summit.
Will Boris Johnson ask for a Brexit extension?
Both sides agreed on a deal before the EU summit today, meaning the next step is getting Parliament to agree on Saturday - in a final push for Brexit.
Jean-Claude Junker, The European Commission president told reporters in Brussels that the deal "means there is no need for any kind of prolongation."
Junker added: "We have concluded a deal. So there is not an argument for delay. It has to be done now."
Johnson himself said that there was "no case for delay" and urged "common sense" to prevail ahead of Saturday's vote in Parliament.
Jeremy Corbyn has branded the "sell-out" deal as "worse than Theresa May's" and will divide the country.
What is a No Deal Brexit?
A No Deal departure from the European Union means leaving without formal arrangements for the future relationship or any transition period.
Currently Britain's trade, customs and immigration rules are tied up with the single market and a host of EU regulatory bodies.
Mr Johnson had insisted Britain would leave the EU on October 31 "do or die" - and was prepared to lave with no deal.
He said he would rather be "dead in a ditch" than ask the EU for another Brexit extension.
But a proposed law blocking a No Deal Brexit was backed by MPs on September 4 and was passed in the Lords on September 6.
It will become law within days once it gets the formality of royal assent.
In a bid to scupper the legislation, Mr Johnson is calling for a General Election - a move that has so far been resisted by Labour.
The parties have been mulling whether to agree to a mid-October election, which can only be triggered if two-thirds of MPs agree.
Mr Johnson says an election is the only way to break the Brexit impasse.
But opponents don't want to agree unless they can ensure the PM can't take Britain out of the EU on October 31 without a divorce agreement, as he has threatened to do.
Mr Johnson said at the launch of his campaign that he was "not aiming for a No Deal outcome" for Brexit but the threat of no deal was a ";vital" negotiation tool.
He insisted the UK "must do better" than the deal served up by EU bosses.

If opposition MPs refuse to back any Government moves to force an election, Mr Johnson may make the extraordinary decision to trigger a confidence motion in his own administration.
He would effectively be daring opposition politicians to back him, and hoping that no other potential governments emerged which could command a majority in the Commons - running the risk of a caretaker government taking power.
If a new government cannot be formed within 14 days, Parliament would be dissolved and an early general election triggered.
