There is a curious plan emerging to corner Boris Johnson next week
The remain alliance have been discussing a nascent idea - but aren't sure whether to go ahead with it or whether it'll ultimately help them.
In other words, don't pay *too* much attention to this. Yet.

So:
1. After the election vote on Monday fails, hold a vote on an SO24
2. This SO24 would seize control of the order paper for Tuesday. This would be used to bring back the WAB on Tuesday(🥴) and try and push it through
Why do that?

Why do this?
- Letwin wants to be seen helping get Brexit thru
- 2nd Ref-ers want to attach 2Ref amendment to WAB
- Supporters of Common Market 2.0 also want chance to do amendment
But also
- *This possibly delays election vote until after Nov 5 meaning no 2019 polling day*

3. Government would then have to decide whether to agree to push thru legislation thru various stages possibly making a Dec 12 election impossible
4. But if they've lost the election vote, why wouldn't they?
But there's a drawback to this plan

... If this plan delays the death of the WAB by a few more weeks, rather than killing it next week, the UK will effectively have used up its extension for no purpose, and need ANOTHER one from the EU to hold an election without Jan 31 no deal cliff edge.
