Jo Swinson, for some unfathomable reason, has decided to dedicate this speech to attacking Labour for not supporting a People's Vote, even though it does support a People's Vote. Apparently this takes priority over challenging the government.— Ian Dunt (@IanDunt) October 28, 2019

not sure why that didn’t embed but:“In terms of "term dates and students": in the closest university marginal (Canterbury), term doesn't end until 18 December. AFAIK, the only university in a marginal constituency where the date is beforehand is Warwick and Leamington.”

The Labour MP Stephen Doughty says he was wrong when he suggested earlier that there were rumours that Boris Johnson could stand as a candidate in East Yorkshire, not in his current constituency, Uxbridge and South Ruislip. (See 5.42pm.) He says the Tory MP for East Yorkshire, Sir Greg Knight, has been readopted as a candidate. Doughty says he muddled the constituency up with another one.

Trouble from the Lib DemsJo Swinson implies they might not back Dec 12 election:'If Boris Johnson wants a General Election he could have supported our bill for a GE on Dec 9th'Instead he has chosen to stick to his original plan for Dec 12 which we have already rejected'— Steven Swinford (@Steven_Swinford) October 28, 2019

Ministers are concerned that if they agree to Dec 9th election it will have just *three days* to get royal assent Whips don't think it's possible to get one-line bill through in that time, especially if there's filibustering in the LordsHence tortuous negotiations over date— Steven Swinford (@Steven_Swinford) October 28, 2019
