“So (MPs) need to get over this revokophobia now

If this scenario happens - late October, with Johnson still as PM and no other measures successful - it will be a national emergency, and MPs will face a simple choice between stopping it by revoking Art50 or letting it happen.”
This is spot on from @GuitarMoog

I am struck by how “blinded by the PV headlights” are the Remain party MPs.

They talk about Parliamentary arithmetic.

Yet their actions leverage the arithmetic.

Revoke is as big stick a negotiating stick as no deal.
But they have to wield it.
The Parliamentary timetable is really worrying me too.

A reminder from the Brexit specialist Clerk to the Houses of Parliament.p who has done a thread on timetabling a VONC.

Now desperately close.
“Given that the recess dates have now been approved, the statutory timetable for an early General Election (on Thursday 24 October) would on my count require a Vote of No Confidence to be debated no later than Tuesday 3rd September (first day back from summer recess).”
