Deal going through (which I don’t think will happen) could mean a Tory vs brexit party election with the hard right breaking away from the tories.
Surely the opposite? (i.e. if the deal doesn't go through?)

It could go that way, if the BXP think this hard deal is still too soft. But I think the “just make it stop” leave vote will be sated.

The hard right will not be happy if this bill passes, they could take it as a capitulation.

Fairly sure that I heard John McDonnell heckling.Just want to point out Oliver Letwin had Times and Telegraph journalists in his mentions telling him to pull his amendment yesterday. Love too live in a country with a free press.

otm!
what happens if he doesn't send the extension request? re Boris saying "I will not negotiate a delay with the EU. And neither does the law compel me to do so."

"The PM will not ask for an extension - he will tell EU leaders there should be no delays, they should reject Parliament's letter asking for a delay, and we should get Brexit done on October 31 with our new deal," Downing Street says.

It’s bullshit. It’s not “Parliament” that sends it, it’s the PM, as Benn says.

There's millions of people in the capital within a short walk of Downing street. Surely they could send a delegation to help BJ see how the world looks as a pendulum from a lamp-post. Sure he'd have a vital new perspective from the end of a rope.

No I just hate that accent, you sometimes hear from Scots who have been living in England for a long time and have Anglified their vowel sounds accordingly, either intentionally or unintentionally ... you also hear it from straight-up wankers like Fraser Nelson.

I'd wager such shifts are subconscious at least 95% of the time. My (Canadian) accent has changed slightly since I moved here, although I could never go full Orson Welles.
― pomenitul, Saturday, 19 October 2019 15:49 (four years ago) link
I'm sure it isn't intentional in the vast majority of cases, I really do hope Kevin Gallacher doesn't pronounce the word 'now' that way deliberately, for instance. The problem of course is that English people (claim they) can't understand you so you're forced to tone the accent down just to get through a day with blowing a gasket every two minutes.
― Michael Oliver of Penge Wins £5 (Tom D.), Saturday, 19 October 2019 15:53 (four years ago) link
It's a little hard going for North Americans because it's not an accent we're routinely exposed to but if I were a Scot living in England I'd never tone it down. They don't need a fucking interpreter.
