| Subject: Boris Johnson could go to PRISON if he carries through with his threat to ignore the law and refuse to delay Brexit, former Director of Public Prosecutions warns Sat Sep 07, 2019 6:29 pm | |
| Boris Johnson could go to prison if he refuses to delay Brexit, the former Director of Public Prosecutions has said.
Lord MacDonald, 66, said today that should Mr Johnson decide to ignore a bill which prevents a No Deal exit he could face prosecution.
This is because, should Mr Johnson ignore the bill, he could be found in contempt of court. Asked if it would be 'an extreme outcome', Lord MacDonald said 'it is by convention that if you are found guilty of defying a court order then you are jailed'.
