As we argued, @BorisJohnson announced Govt will bring in short Bill tomorrow for 12 December election. After he failed to win 434 votes needed for election under Fixed-term Parliaments Act - only 299 votes for, with 70 against 1/3
Lib Dems & SNP, who want 9 Dec election, will now negotiate over precise date. Want assurance Boris will not bring back his Brexit deal to Parliament before election . Still a live debate about that in Tory land 2/3
.@jeremycorbyn appeared to be moving towards backing Dec election; said will look & scrutinise election Bill. Still several hurdles to jump, including risk of amendments. But big step towards Dec election 3/3
Johnson will promise SNP & Lib Dems he will not reintroduce his Brexit deal Bill while Election Bill is going through Parliament. Should ensure SNP & Lib support. But will anger ministers & Tory MPs who want to press on with EU Bill & fear Dec election a gamble
