Emerging from lunch in Bxl. So it seems November election likely after all opposition parties agree to delay approving contest until Article 50 extension has been approved at 17-18 European Council. How will @BorisJohnson now honour his pledge not to seek extension? 1/3
Several options under consideration, including: asking Queen not to give Royal Assent to extension Bill; refusing to implement it; asking another EU member state to veto extension; attaching conditions (eg will disrupt EU) that would make EU more reluctant/deny extension or 2/3
passing no-confidence vote in own Govt in hope that leads to election. None of them good options 3/3
