it is quite funny that the tories big push for a media shock story that they could actually send two letters to the EU, one asking for a delay and another saying "lol j.k", was immediately shot down by a judge on radio 4, making them all look like scurrilous idiots rather than the Machiavellian superstars they kept telling themselves as they sniped at Teresa May for months

Actually the House of Commons can't extend the day like that as it's a power reserved for the Time Lords.

Surely the actual cunning plan would be to send a letter saying “the next letter I send is a bizarro letter and you have to do the opposite of what it says!” and then sending the extension request.

This whole thing is like a terrible children’s party.

In the latest genius strategy by Dominic Cummings, it has leaked that Downing Street plans to declare October 31st "Opposite Day" so the extension request will be denied

Just to keep up, is today the absolute last opportunity for the opposition/rebels to pass a VONC with the goal of guaranteeing that no-deal Brexit doesn't happen? If they try it after prorogation presumably they can't prevent the govt running out the clock to Oct 31 during the FTPA-mandated 2 week period, assuming the Tories actually commit to a no-deal Brexit.

No, parliament still has time to VONC Johnson and then vote confidence in someone else (presumably Corbyn) after prorogation. Then that person would immediately be PM.

The two week time limit after the VONC is when an election is held, if nobody has the confidence of parliament.

It's true, if Boris does have the guts to break the law then we need Lib Dems and ex-tories to save us.

At least we can rely on there not being a Tory Lib Dem coalition, the brexiteers would be so angry the tories would never go for it (I'm sure the Lib Dems would still be up for it).

I can't imagine it ever actually happening but Bercow having Boris locked up would be very funny. Wonder how long in the cell he would last before giving up and sending the letter. 10, 20 minutes?

What is it with right wing brits? Right wingers the world over tend to be ugly old men but they usually try to have a few photogenic ones to shove in front of the cameras. But 100% of Tories look like they belong on the set of a PSA about the dangers of inbreeding.

I thought Johnson really does know all about Roman and Greek mythos and history though? I would've thought Ireland purposefully chose that line because they knew he'd get what they really mean.
