I will be very interested to see how Boris will avoid the provisions of the Surrender Bill. That's going to be very interesting, although he actually said that the Benn bill does not require him to 'negotiate' a delay.
So maybe he will present the letter together with additional documentation to indicate the Government's position on the matter and not follow it up. The EU will be aware already that the Government has no intention of nominating a commissioner, which will gum up the works, as well as other plans to disrupt the EU if they choose to grant the extension.
Despite the best efforts of his detractors, I think Boris has won. We leave on 31 October.
You heard it here first. Well, -ish.  |
He didn't seem like much of a winner, he could be in jail this time next week !
If he is trying to 'win', you can be sure it's only for himself. A very disunited kingdom will be the result, in which we'll all end up poorer.
