EU will grant extension then Labour will have a vote of no confidence, Christmas GE anybody?

Johnson fails to leave by 31st Oct, has askes for A50 extension, thrown DUP under a bus, made the backstop permanent in the WA. A car crash of a politician.

Parliament has passed a Brexit deal, it shuts Johnson and Cummings claptrap about parliament wanting to stop Brexit. We have a deal, MPs can now look their leave constitiences in the eye, and say, I voted to leave on 22/10/2019.

Christmas GE is very risky.

For Tories, the old bugger vote less likely to go out in the cold. Genuinely, this stuff is modelled out.

For Labour, families (and mid to low income ones) have bills racking up, minds are elsewhere. Difficult to keep them on message.

The student vote gets messy too. Less of the peer pressure cos everyone goes home for end of term.

Parliament have voted the first reading through, seemingly on the basis that they will then be allowed at the second reading stage to add in the amendments they want and to debate the bill properly - all we have had at this point are May's Meaningful votes and the one that Johnson pulled at the weekend.

So it passed the first part of a very long process. The second vote, which was imposed by Johnson's promise to 'deliver Brexit by the 31st October', was about the scheduling and the length of time to debate. The scheduling effectively meant that Parliament couldn't set the timetable and wouldn't have time for amendments.

It's back with the EU now to grant the extension as per the PMs letter requesting it.

They could still have it on last week of November. I suspect it will be February or March now though.
