		</div><p>Boris Johnson’s second bid to secure an early election will not be backed by British MPs fighting to prevent a no-deal Brexit, opposition leaders have said ahead of a Commons vote.</p>
<p>Labour said the cross-party group will not support the Prime Minister’s “ploy” for a general election, which critics claim could see a departure from the EU without an agreement in place.</p>
<p>The PM today will try for a second time to get an election under the Fixed-Term Parliament Act, but it is expected to fail to get the support of the required two-thirds of MPs.</p>
<p>The Liberal Democrats said they would against any request for an election until no-deal had been averted.</p>
<p>“We were absolutely rock solid on rejecting out of hand Boris Johnson’s attempt to cut and run with a general election,” Lib Dem Brexit spokesman Tom Brake told the PA news agency.</p>
<p><em>“There’s absolutely no way we will let him do that before he’s secured an extension.”</em></p>
<p>Labour said all those who attended the meeting at Jeremy Corbyn’s Westminster office “agreed to work together to hold the Government to account in Parliament”.</p>
<p><em>“All leaders agreed that they would not support Boris Johnson’s ploy to deny the people their decision by crashing us out of the EU with no deal during a general election campaign,”</em> a spokeswoman said.</p>
<p>Plaid Cymru confirmed its MPs will vote against the Fixed-Term Parliament Act, while its Westminster leader Liz Saville Roberts called for the PM to be impeached if he refuses to ask for an extension to Article 50.</p>
<p>Legislation expected to become law on Monday after being passed by opposition MPs and Tory rebels will require Mr Johnson to ask Brussels for a delay to the departure date to January 31 if no exit agreement has been approved by October 19.</p>
<p>But their are fears Mr Johnson will not carry out the request, after saying he would rather be “dead in a ditch” than ask for a further delay to Brexit.</p>
<p>Plaid Cymru Westminster leader Liz Saville Roberts told opposition leaders they must be ready to impeach the PM if he refused to carry out the request.</p>
<p><em>“If the Prime Minister refuses to seek an extension to the period under Article 50, he will have broken the law – plain and simple – and he must be subject to legal repercussions,”</em> she said.</p>
<p>SNP Westminster leader Ian Blackford has said his MPs will reject the PM’s call for an early general election until no-deal is no longer a possibility.</p>
<p><em>“Once the threat of no-deal is off the table, we will move for an early election,”</em> he added.</p>
