UK Brexit 'surrender bill' means election now needed: Javid

LONDON: British finance minister Sajid Javid said on Thursday that legislation to delay Brexit which is now set to clear parliament was a"surrender Bill" and meant the country would have to hold a national election.

"When it gets Royal Assent it will be a surrender Bill and that is why the prime minister has said that, especially once this Bill is in place, that we need to move forward as a country, we need to deliver on Brexit, and that's why unfortunately I think we are in the position where we need a general election," Javid said in a television interview.
