    Agreed , but as I indicated ‘post GE ‘ BoJo is likely to have a majority sufficient to change/revoke the Benn ‘Law’, because the ‘ blame game’ will likely wipe out Labour, if not the LibDems and the SNP?

    So all he has to do, in the meantime, is obey the instruction to request an extension, which he will do, but there is absolutely nothing stopping him at the same time giving notice to the EU that he will repeal the Benn law and withdraw the extension request  post GE?

    No one can predict the outcome of a GE, but can you really see all 27 states of the EU each agreeing to an extension, only potentially to have it changed in a couple of weeks – I don’t think that they will agree frankly!

    This Is assuming that he wins a GE ,but can you really see him losing the blame game?

    Kinnock jr. Reckons that 30-50 Labour MP’s will support a deal, before the deadline anyway, so all sorts of combinations can come into play.

    So, by doing it this way, he complies with Parliament’s instructions, and I f the EU say ‘no thanks’, what can the unholy alliance do?
