Questions being asked about how Labour can vote for a General Election tomorrow and stop a No Deal Brexit.

It looks like it can be done because of clever drafting of this afternoon’s motion to take control of the parliamentary timetable.

1/....
As per @cgwOMT recent tweet, this afternoon’s motion - if passed - will prevent the Government from proroguing Parliament this week because it takes control of NI Executive Act and prevents a debate on the act before Monday.
The NI legislation was passed before the summer recess to prevent prorogation of Parliament until MPs had been given an update on progress to restore the power sharing agreement.

That’s down for Monday.

And today’s motion means that update cannot be provided before Monday.
Which gives those wanting to stop a No Deal Brexit until Monday to pass a new law mandating the Prime Minister to go back to Brussels and seek an extension to Article 50 until January 31st.
In other words, when it comes to having a general election and stopping the UK leaving the EU without a deal on October 31st, it does appear Labour can have their cake and eat it.
