Thoughts and prayers tonight for the folks who told us that the Benn Act was unconstitutional, illegal, unworkable, breached EU law, violated the Prime Directive, yada yada yada. Special hug for Giant Brain Man

NB:
- EU doesn't have to give an extension
- EU might delay decision until position in parliament is clearer
- if Parliament approves WA before 31/10 PM can withdraw request
- might be longer or shorter than three months
- if both sides ratify WA UK leaves on 1st of next month

Copies of the letters from Johnson. Remember:
- Scottish court may rule on legality of the second letter next week
- Anyway, Tusk is treating this as an extension request and discussing with EU27 leaders on that basis

Scottish court might rule that there's an attempt to frustrate parliament, or it might rule that the extra letters and lack of signature is nonsense - the law has been complied with. There's value in shooting down the silly schemes of Giant Brain Man
This is a gimmick that simply restates the law: if the withdrawal agreement is ratified by both sides, the UK leaves on that basis on the first day of the following month.
Exclusive footage of certain UK journalists falling for the latest nonsense wheeze of Giant Brain Man
Here's the thing: Giant Brain Man, who has no legal background, lacks the ability to get his legal wheezes past judges.
But his real aim is to get these wheezes past certain uncritical *journalists* - and they keep making that easy for him.
