<p>As he arrived at the EU summit after meeting with the PM, Mr Juncker was asked if he believed the deal would be approved by Parliament.</p>

<p><em>“I hope it will, I’m convinced it will. It has to,”</em> he replied.</p>
<p><em>“Anyway there will be no prolongation.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Mr Juncker added: <em>“We have a deal. The British PM has to make sure that the deal will pass the hurdles of Westminster.</em></p>
<p><em>“I will have to make sure it can pass the hurdles of the European Parliament, that’s all.”</em></p>
<p>Asked if he would rule out a Brexit extension if Mr Johnson asked him to, Mr Juncker told reporters: <em>“I gave a brief doorstep with Boris Johnson… and I was ruling out that there would be any kind of prolongation.</em></p>
<p><em>“If we have a deal, we have a deal and there is no need for prolongation.</em></p>
<p><em>“That is not only the British view, that is my view too.”</em></p>
<p>Responding to Mr Juncker’s comments on allowing an extension, Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage tweeted: <em>“So an unelected, retiring bureaucrat says: No extension, take this new treaty or just leave.</em></p>
<p><em>“He is overriding the Benn Act. The EU shows itself to be a thuggocracy – power without accountability. Appalling people.”</em></p>

<p>Labour MP David Lammy tweeted: <em>“Don’t be fooled by misleading reports. It is not within Jean-Claude Juncker’s powers to rule out an extension if we vote down Boris Johnson’s deal on Saturday. It’s up to the Council of EU27 leaders who will grant an extension.”</em></p>
