I wonder whether Norm came up with that idea himself, or if he’s being fed by a No.10 source. The latter, I suspect. There are a lot of mind games being played this morning, seemingly to underscore the futility of opposing Boris on this. He was quite emphatic that he wouldn’t ask for an article 50 extension yesterday ... politicians are rarely so explicit. Yet it is still much, much easier for Boris in the immediate term if the bill falls and there isn’t an election before 31 October. The government clearly wants rebels to see the pointlessness and futility of sacrificing their careers on a gesture that ultimately won’t change anything.
