Two points of clarity on the Benn Act: 1) The Act does not ‘surrender’ any power to Brussels. Parliament passed the law that stipulates 31/01/20 as the extension date, and Parliament retains a full veto over any alternative offer. Parliament is sovereign.

2) If an extension is entered into, and then a deal is ratified during that extension, the extension can be terminated early. This is a flexible Act that provides the PM with the time and space to negotiate a smooth exit.

You absolute trollop. You and crony MPs accelerated the Benn Surrender bill through within in 24 hours, and Royal Assent in a further 24 hours. We expect YOU and your mutual betrayers to put in the same herculean efforts to get the proposed deal through. YOU utter bar-stool.
