Chancellor of the Exchequer insists UK leaves the EU on October 31

The United Kingdom will leave the European Union on Oct. 31, hopefully with a deal, Chancellor of the Exchequer Sajid Javid said on Monday. “Hopefully we leave with a deal,” Javid told ITV. “If we cannot strike a deal, I think it is important to leave in any case and leave with no deal. It is not perfect but it is appropriate that we leave on the 31st.”
