It could have been quite a moment if he hadn’t stumbled on his words 3 times while looking so pleased with himself for having the thought.

But to carry on with that logic, a general election is the equivalent of a prorogation, so…

Lib Dem hero Ken Clarke rises to say he wants to leave as soon as possible with Johnson’s deal, but also point out that 31st October is an artificial date the government shouldn’t feel beholden to.

I’m sure Jo Swindon will thank him for that.

Prefer an en pointe one (especially when dealing with a man of the ballet such as yourself), but beggars can’t be choosers.

Infuriating to see the Tories get to count this as a win but still, this is really fucking good (and about time) eh

This is interesting: https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/staggers/2019/10/question-john-redwood-spells-trouble-government

It seems John Redwood was/is unaware that the backstop is now a ‘frontstop’. Wonder how many of his ERG colleagues are similarly mistaken.

And apparently the Brexit Secretary doesn’t fully understand the deal either:

this is disgusting, I had friends who worked at/still work at ASDA, I hope they haven’t been forced to sign this

remember there was some dodgy stuff with them years ago about terminating people’s contracts

This is what happened to both my parents at Sainsbury’s. My mum was made redundant in the end, 4 years before she can retire (2 years in and she can’t find work still) and my stepdad works longer hours for less money.

Yeah this happened to my cousin at Sainsbos too, can’t believe they get away with it. Sorry about your folks.

Last I heard was them trying to intimidate people into signing new contracts by giving them a DWP leaflet telling them how to get a new job - was a couple of weeks back though. Is there more?

I’m trying to make sense of this but at the moment it from reading the BBC news site it seems like Parliament is basically choosing between accepting Johnson’s deal or us crashing out with no deal. But that doesn’t really make sense.

What are the other options? If this deal is rejected (which I don’t really think it will be from the sounds of MPs) then are we at the whims of the EU as to whether or not they extend? With the only way to avoid No Deal if they don’t being us cancelling A50 (assuming that can even still be done)?

The EU will grant Johnson’s request and give the UK an extension.

To be clear, is this just an assumption or have they officially accepted Johnson’s letter?
