What are the realistic options going forward?

Seems that there's no way to hold a General Election before October 31st so we won't be leaving the EU then, unless the EU consensus falls apart. I think it would wise to delay an election until December as I've got an 18/1 bet for then.

In fairness Downing Street hasn’t responded yet so they won’t want their MP’s saying anything until they have a position. Pretty standard.

 

They were clearly expecting a victory, otherwise they'd have their position nailed in advance and briefed to everyone last night. 

Just further highlights their arrogance, and lack of strategy.

Not trying to claim they're competent. More just don't see asking MP's not to comment at this time isn't necessarily panic.

Such a shame that we no longer have Concorde.........that Gonk could have been back in London in 4 hours to offer his resignation to Brenda.

Currently trying to rebook with Thomas Cook, but taking one for the team and letting "normals" get home first...

Bercow on now.......looking like The Cheshire Cat..........[emoji41]

 

Bercow hints he may allow MPs to use SO24 motion again to free up time for legislation

 

Perhaps the most significant part of John Bercow’s statement (see 12.14pm) was his comment about being open to SO24 applications for emergency debates. He seemed to be encouraging MPs to start tabling them now.

 

In the past SO24 motions were just used to hold three-hour debates of no consequence. But earlier this month Bercow allowed Sir Oliver Letwin to use an SO24 motion to take control of the Commons order paper for a day or more, allowing MPs to pass the Benn bill designed to rule out a no-deal Brexit on 31 October.

 

Opposition MPs are likely to try the same trick again, to pass motions or laws preventing Boris Johnson from trying to prorogue parliament again.
