Johnson could go to prison if he refuses to delay Brexit

The prime minister has said he will not agree an extension, despite parliament passing a law forcing him to do so.

Sky News quotes Lord MacDonald, who held the senior prosecutor post between 2003 and 2008, saying that legal action would mean a court ordering that “the law should be followed”.
