On Monday the Prime Minister will be ordered by the Court to send the letter and/or the Court will sign it himself. If the Prime Minister does not send the letter by the deadline tonight we *will* bring contempt of court proceedings against him personally.
The Prime Minister with a mandate from 160,000 does not have to "negotiate a delay". There is nothing negotiate. The terms upon which he *shall* accept an extension were set down by Parliament, with its mandate from 46 million.
We have instructed Kenny McBrearty QC to draft civil contempt proceedings against the Prime Minister if he does not send the Benn Act letter. We plan to issue these on Monday, if necessary.

How you can win a General Election for Remain:
1. Talk to Leave voting friends: there's only one way to make it stop.
2. Vote tactically to keep the Tories out.
3. Canvass in marginals.
4. Don't fire on friendlies.
5. Take polling day as holiday to get the Remain vote out.
If you want to vote tactically - and the evidence is that tactical voting stands between a Leave Government and a Remain Government - I suggest you use this site run by @BestForBritain for a voting recommendation. getvoting.org
@BestForBritain (For the avoidance of doubt, I have no links with @BestForBritain or its directors or donors: I have worked with neither, I am not aware that either has made any donation in money or kind to @GoodLawProject or to me personally, and I don't see them socially.)

What happens now?

If the EU offers an extension to 31 January the PM *must* accept it (and if he doesn't the Inner House in the case brought by @DaleVince, @joannaccherry and me will).
If the EU offers an extension to any other date the PM must (also) accept it unless both (a) he asks the Commons whether it accepts that other date and (b) the Commons says "no".
If the EU refuses an offer of an extension there is now insufficient time for the UK and EU formalities for an extension to be satisfied before 31 October and so we will either leave without a deal or revoke.

We intend to adopt a neutral position today in relation to whether the AG for Scotland and the Prime Minister are in contempt of court. But this, we believe, is the key exchange. dropbox.com/s/yj03r8izvuad…
And here is a copy of our Note of Argument for the hearing today. Given the arguable breach by the PM of his undertakings we will ask the Court to continue oversight of his actions. dropbox.com/s/4atoks8xn4kq…
I act not to punish the Prime Minister for his failings. I act to secure that a man with a mandate from 160,000 recognises the supremacy of laws enacted by a Parliament with a mandate from 46 million, however inconvenient they are to him.

It’s #Monday, I’m boozing it up at a 4 seat bar, the #barkeep is a long pourer, and I’m all fucking set if I get something stuck between my teeth.👇🙃 #RandomThoughts #drinking #OutAndAbout
Shooting the shit with a friend, she’s proud to be doing well with her plants - unusual for her.

The key was a #video explaining the benefits of pruning.

She needs REASONS. She got them.

Apparently, pruning in a particular manner stimulates growth hormones.

Of course, this led to me initiating a discussion about the #movie I just watched on Hulu, called “The German Doctor.”

The main character was Josef Mengele. #ThisHappened

People, this is why I’m known in my circles as “The Black Hole Of Conversation.” SMTH
