Britain's Labour Party leader, Jeremy Corbyn, says the House of Commons will move quickly to try to block a no-deal Brexit despite Prime Minister Boris Johnson's move to suspend Parliament.

Corbyn told Sky News that Parliament should "legislate rapidly" to prevent a "no-deal" Brexit and that he would try to "politically stop" Johnson from pushing through a no-deal Brexit and shutting down Parliament.

Corbyn says "we believe we can do it."
Michel Barnier warned Thursday that "in all circumstances, the EU will continue to protect the interests of its citizens and companies, as well as the conditions for peace and stability on the island of Ireland."
Barnier said that making sure the island remains peaceful is "our duty & our responsibility."
House of Commons leader Jacob Rees-Mogg dismissed the outrage Thursday as "phony."
