Don't think I've ever appreciated this thread as much until today, standing in the rain at Parliament Square. Thanks for the updates, all.

So Boris is saying he’s not going to ask the EU for an more time.

This is absurd. It's like reading a book on the downfall of Rome and its description of the Senate. It is just totally and utterly absurd.

Does that vote signal an effective end to meaningful business in Westminster today?

Just to remind all the Inner House in Scotland resumes on Monday at 12, remember what they stated previously:-

An important passage from today's judgement from the Inner House:-

https://www.scotcourts.gov.uk/search-judgments/judgment?id=7a2e72a7-8980-69d2-b500-ff0000d74aa7

The situation remains fluid. What is known is that, over the next two weeks, circumstances will inevitably change. If 19 October comes and goes without either of the two conditions in the 2019 Act having been satisfied and in the absence of the letter which the Prime Minister would then be required to send, the petitioners would be entitled to return to court and seek an order ordaining the PM to comply with the terms of the 2019 Act within a prescribed, and possibly very short, period. It is only once that period has expired without the order being obtempered that the court would consider authorising an official to sign the letter which the PM may have failed to do.

The court has essentially stated that providing the need arises if Johnson does not send an extension letter it will issue an order that he must do so within a small time frame and if he still refuses to do so it will consider using the nobile officium power to authorise someone else to do so. The Outer House judgement from Monday is effectively null and void.

And remember what was promised to the court:-

No my friend, you will need to send that letter and think you can get a deal done in the time. The time for the opposition is near, as soon as he has asked for the extension they need to move on a VONC of GNU to get a second referendum on Brexit.

But will he do it?? what is he playing at

PM didnt say he wouldnt send letter, just that HE wouldnt be negotiating any extension. What that actually entails, hard to say.

Well the Conservatives might get two fingers from the Scottish electorate in the next election.

All of the EU now is facing no deal. Benn bill is flawed

Interesting question by Joanna Cherry to John Bercow. If the speaker of the house were to sign the letter that would be into uncharted waters wouldn’t we ?

Apalling. They all walked out on SNP again, but this time for Joanna Cherry, and not Blackford. What was bizarre was Parliament TV cut to a close up of Bercow and he literally said 'I'm playing for time, I'm playing for time'.

Seems to me that there were some sort of Westminster directives given:

1. Dont walk out on party leader
2. If there is an SNP walkout, edit it out

There are millions watching today
