  • Michael Gove argued that it would likely win enough support to be approved by Britain’s Parliament.
  • Northern Irish allies, the Democratic Unionist Party, have also welcomed the plan.

Reuters has reported that in a new Brexit plan from Prime Minister Boris Johnson, senior minister Michael Gove argued that it would likely win enough support to be approved by Britain’s Parliament, adding that Brussels should take confidence from that.

The short article reads as follows:

UK Parliament would back Johnson's Brexit plan: Gove

"The British Parliament rejected three times an earlier Withdrawal Agreement struck by former Prime Minister Theresa May, but some lawmakers from the most pro-Brexit wing of the ruling Conservatives and some opposition Labour lawmakers have signaled their backing for Johnson’s new proposal.

Northern Irish allies, the Democratic Unionist Party, have also welcomed the plan that was sent to Brussels earlier on Wednesday.

“That seems to me to be a pretty solid majority,” Gove, minister for preparing for a no-deal exit, told ITV’s Peston program,"
