UK must leave EU on Oct. 31 even without a deal - PM candidate McVey

LONDON (Reuters) - Britain must quit the European Union at the end of October even if that means leaving without a deal, Conservative MP Esther McVey, one of the candidates to succeed Theresa May as prime minister, said on Sunday.

"The 31st Oct is the key date and we are coming out then and if that means without a deal, then that is what it means," McVey, a pro-Brexit former minister, told Sky News.
