PM leaves the chamber despite speaker telling him it would be a courtesy for him to stay for a point of order
But John McDonnell’s point of order was a misunderstanding: Johnson said he wouldn’t ask for a Brexit extension; he didn’t say he would disobey the law requiring the PM to do so if no deal
Johnson could resign; he could change the law; he could find the law ineffective – his position makes little sense, but it doesn't amount to defying the law

A few years ago I would not have thought this possible – a march of this sort on the streets of London backed by the Leader of the Opposition and numerous labour front benchers. It is blood chilling. We are heading to a very dark place.

Speakers were applauded as they declared Jewish organisations are “in the gutter” and “part of the problem”.
There were Nazi swastikas, slogans calling for the complete eradication of Israel. And the applause reached a crescendo as Corbyn’s message was read out.
The march included at least 2 front benchers, including Diane Abbott (shadow Home Sec) and Richard Burgon (shadow Justice Secretary), known Islamist extremists, holocaust minimisers, and even Tony Martin, the leader of the neo-Nazi National Front.

Jacob Rees-Mogg, existing in the world because a child's blood once touched a painting of a slumlord. Jacob Rees-Mogg, a man who can't say "mother" without achieving climax. Jacob Rees-Mogg, who would ask a genie to grant him the power to pop guide dogs "just because".
Michael Gove, a teacher from the Beano whose plans get thwarted by a cat wearing a tie. Michael Gove, what would happen to The Michelin Man if it was inflated with beetles instead of air. Michael Gove, who produces three pints of saliva for every sentence spoken.
Michael Gove, the physical embodiment of the smell of sour milk. Michael Gove, a first draft Thunderbirds character who was deemed too upsetting to be on television. Michael Gove, a man who would run a hundred miles to push a child into a lake.

Jacob Rees-Mogg was supposed to board the Brexit fishing boat at Embankment pier. But he's just been told he's not allowed on because no one asked TFL's permission
Blocked from boarding his Brexit boat, Jacob Rees-Mogg is now having to walk to Parliament instead
A cyclist stops at the side of the road to inform Jacob Rees-Mogg that he (Jacob Rees-Mogg, not the cyclist) is "our next prime minister"

Astonishing that Brexiteers who despise the political EU but don't mind keeping similar EEA access are now seen as "not eurosceptic"
By my count, EEA rules make up only ~20% of the total. EU is far more than trade, and the worst bits of the EU are nothing to do with trade
Furthermore, immediate post-referendum poll by Lord Ashcroft showed that *sovereignty*, not trade, was biggest driver of the Leave vote
