IDS criticises plan for Commons to take control tomorrow as “a recipe for utter chaos”...
Brexit Secretary Steve Barclay says that yes there is a “crisis” and that is the fact that the Commons is trying to take over Government tomorrow
Barclay says timing of MV might be before indicative votes or after - Tues or Thurs.
Indicative vote “not binding” says Barclay - “ultimately risk of GE increases if PArliament instructs Executive to do something counter to what out was elected to do - constitutional collision”

Barclay says that standing in May’s EP elections are “counter to what people stood for in manifesto”...they aren’t actually mentioned in the manifesto - nor is March 29th 2019.
Only indirect reference is to “reach agreement” within two years - emphatically no promise in manifesto to leave within 2 years of A50 trigger.
In any event promise to reach agreement on “the terms” of future partnership already long abandoned... 👇🏽

Why does everything now hinge around participation or not in EP Elections?
MPs triggered A50 including 50.3 which contained indeterminate extension clause, which now been triggered.
Maybe its a bad idea. Maybe a good idea.
No evidence to say it is ruled out by manifestos.
