I demand more time before I answer that question!

Jfman was putting forward a suggestion that Boris goes voluntarily for an extension, but I said he wouldn't do that because he pledged not to.

Being forced into it is a different thing over which, frankly, he has no control.

A small, technical extension to give a little extra time (another day or so) I can live with, but I accept that if amendments are put forward that the PM cannot agree, he will need to pull the Bill and go for an election. Given that an extension is likely to be in place, there is no reason why the opposition parties shouldn't agree that now.

Then, with a working majority, BJ will be much better placed to push the Bill through. The opposition had better hope that he doesn't go for a no-deal Brexit when he has the votes to do so. Serve 'em right if he does.
