With less than two months to go before the U.K. exits the EU's economic orbit, trade deal talks resume in London.

Major and Blair, who both vociferously opposed Brexit, said the planned legislation puts the 1998 Good Friday agreement that ended decades of violence in Northern Ireland at risk.

(CNN) - In an extraordinary move, a former British prime minister has joined a legal battle to stop current leader Boris Johnson from suspending Parliament in the runup to Brexit.

He added he was keen to provide assistance to the court from the perspective of a former minister and prime minister. Miller said Thursday she had instructed her legal team to apply to a court for judicial review. The case was launched last month, seeking to prevent the Prime Minister from suspending Parliament before Brexit.
