That meeting was planned way in advance. The one where it’s members were not allowed to attend. Doesn’t matter. Remainiac Hammond, would still face Whip being withdrawn.

btw, not sure of the logic process that seems to believe if a majority vote for the bill (which has now been published by Hilary Benn) which would force the PM to request a Brexit delay to 31 January 2020 unless MPs had approved a new deal, the same majority would then vote for a dissolution of Parliament/General Election which would cause a No Deal Brexit to happen... |
That’s not a valid point of order. It doesn’t need two thirds vote to revoke the fixed term parliament act altogether.
