Is that a law? Brexit delayed until the end of January a GE must follow? All we've got here is an unnamed No 10 source for this pronouncement. It may or may not work out that way but I weary of attributions from who knows who issuing ukases.If, as expected, Brexit is delayed until the end of January, a general election would have to follow, the Press Association reports; citing an unnamed No 10 source.

There was absolutely no need for Johnson to insist on truncated proceedings in the Commons on the Withdrawal Agreement Bill (WAB). Since the European Parliament is nowhere near ready to give its consent – needing at least a couple of weeks – the prime minister in office had nothing to lose by giving MPs more time. Even before yesterday evening's voting, his 31 October timetable was already unachievable.
