    Childish games played by adults who doesn't have a care for their voters. He is trying to goad Labour into a vote. You just hope Corbyn doesn't fall into the trap.

    He wouldn’t know a salient point if it bit him.

    Johnson saying he will not ask for a delay. When you think it can't get anymore absurd!!

    Johnson openly promising to defy parliament and break the law requiring him to seek an extension. It is really astounding that a head of government would behave in such a way.

    Johnson has just confirmed that he will not be asking for another delay.

    Voted for a Parliament. Two years later. Let's try again.
    Voted for the Withdrawal Agreement. Some months later. Let's try again.
    Voted for the Withdrawal Agreement. Some weeks later. Let's try again.
    Voted for the Withdrawal Agreement.
    Voted on whether or not to have an early general election. Some days later. Lets try again.
    Voted on whether or not to leave the European Union. Three years later. Are we sure we should do this? Let's try again. - Wait. You can't. That's undemocratic.

    I can't really see Johnson as the martyr to the cause type who is willing to spend time behind bars to prove a point, will he resign rather than comply with the law?

    It’s a shame he’s stepping down as speaker. He’s doing his best to control this fancy crèche.

    If he was then he'd storm the election "went to jail to achieve Brexit" what a great slogan that would be, that's not really Boris though.:D

    You have misread the situation. Johnson has one way to get out of this without breaking the law or a promise, and that is what Corbyn will deny him. Add in that he will ensure that no-deal is avoided and Corbyn is playing a blinder. Johnson is the one bottling it.

    Anyone see Andrew (my dad won world war two) Bridgen on Newsnight? Fantastic LOL moment as he suggested Ireland would be envious of Brexit Britain and it's gleaming preferential trade agreements with the United States.

    He's not going to ask for the Ext because he will negotiate the WA with the border in the Irish Sea.
    That's what he'll bring back and take into a GE.
    That's my best reading of it ATM.

    Johnson jeering Corbyn again and saying he’s happy to waste £250m a week, that could be better spent building hospitals, or on 4000 nurses, or some rubbish like that- didn’t get it all. His entire front bench grinning smugly, like the gormless, over-privileged, arrogant incompetents that they are.

    Complete, total, lies. And he gets away with it again and again and again.

    So what. He said he would go with No Deal, no problem.

    Is he defying Parliament or doing something illegal?

    I cannot keep up with this drama.

    We haven't seen this Corbyn (sharp, firebrand, on-message) since 2017.

    If the newspapers are consistent then they will eat him alive for this. Do not underestimate their desire to eat a PM alive for sales and if he comes back with a worse deal than Theresa May negotiated I think some of them will turn on him.

    A couple of "Chalk and cheese" observations, after the fun and games today:

    (2) Several hours after Johnson's amateur buffoonery in Dublin, John Bercow's "stepping down" speech was a very welcome dose of erudite oratory: a clear and waffle-free statement of what he was doing, when he'd do it, and how he'd come to his decision.

    Strange as it may seem on the day when the "mother of all democracies" is shut down for no good reason, it's reassuring to know that politics is not rotten to the core: that there are still examples of quality to be found in the corridors and chambers of power.

    Edit to acknowledge Spanish Eyes getting his/her post in while I was writing! Interesting use of the same vocabulary! :)

    Find it very odd that so many people mainly remainers but some leavers have zero interest in addressing the bullying allegations aimed at Bercow because they like his stance on Brexit but ah well.

    Didn't look great today with all the praise aimed at him that those bullying issues were never touched upon.

    Looking at most of the MPs in there it seems they think it's all a big joke.

    If the British people had any sense they fcuk the whole lot of them out next election.

    That's because Corbyn is useless in the HoC. This is Johnson's world - debating in front of an audience where he can be fact free and playing them like a fiddle. By comparison, Corbyn is like a sack of potatoes.

    Law received Royal Ascent today that he has to ask for an extension on the 19th October if he doesn't bring back a deal before that and get it passed. So, yes he would be doing something illegal if he defies that.
