The EU27 has agreed that it will accept the UK's request for a #Brexit flextension until 31 January 2020. The decision is expected to be formalised through a written procedure.

Now, can anyone find a ditch for the PM?

[AnatolyKasparov]

So you mean that Macron was posturing??

Shocked I am, genuinely shocked.

Good morfternoon.

Boris Johnson has no intention of apologising for failing to meet his repeatedly-promised deadline of 31 October to leave the EU, and believes parliament is to blame for the delay, Downing Street has said. (Politics Live, Guardian)

[AnatolyKasparov]

But he PROMISED........!!

[PorFavor]

But he PROMISED........!!

Yes - it's not like him at all, is it? He must be having an off-day.

[RogerOThornhill]

By the way Boris, just how did you get this wonderful deal which "everyone said I wouldn't get"?

UK gives up £7bn windfall from European Investment Bank. Boris Johnson has had to compromise to get his deal.

No wonder the EU were happy to reopen talks!

[RogerOThornhill]

Actually it would appear from reading the replies - as I should have done before I posted and blamed Boris - that this was in the previous Withdrawal deal.

Good afternoon, everyone.

I wonder what Sky was expecting? My having left the commando gear at home likely caused confusion. I look different in armour.

[RogerOThornhill]

Time for Keith Vaz to go I think - silly man.

I can't figure out what's going on in UK politics today.

[AnatolyKasparov]

Time for Keith Vaz to go I think - silly man.

What has he done now?

Old story but new ban. Take the opportunity afforded by a GE if we have one and don't stand again. Even if we don't have a GE then stand down anyway.

Boris Johnson just referred to Esther McVey as the "Secretary of State for Work and Pensions". She's his housing minister.

Worth it for the headline alone

[PaulfromYorkshire]

Actually a good, incisive piece.

[AnatolyKasparov]

It was obvious from the start that certain people in the "People's Vote" campaign saw it mainly as a way of either "retaking" the Labour party or pushing it aside entirely.

[citizenJA]

Goodnight, everyone.
love,

Margaret Hodge gets reselected.

Boo.

[RogerOThornhill]

Just returned from the Roundhouse after having my eardrums battered with a barrage of noise. My hearing is still intact thankfully.

So a single Labour MP neither abstained not voted against but voted For an election?

When I saw there was only 1 it didn't take much to work out who it was...
