Basically has their bluff been called? It is true to say Morgan doesn’t entirely rule out the offer.

Either way, it’s a smart move. Largely puts the heat back on Johnson (though Lab position still difficult). Also sends strong signal to the EU that Parliament is willing to do something to resolve impasse and strengthens voices of those like Tusk arguing for Jan 31st extension.

govt reluctance over elex will make Lab more comfortable with it. Because there is no trust in Johnson’s No 10 (and despite strong evidence to the contrary, a lingering worry that they are strategic geniuses) there is a reflex against anything they might want. This changes that.

Puts the heat back on Johnson. Why should the opposition parties agree to an election on Johnson's terms? If Parliament is as broken as he has said, you would think he would jump at this opportunity..... unless he is isn't as certain in his convictions as he pretends to be....

I think that might be Swinson's point. Boris is doing the "persistence will wear down your defences and you'll say yes eventually, and give me what I want just to make me stop" creepy bully thing. Sometimes calling a bluff works.

In other words, Boris SAYS he wants a referendum or a GE, but he knows if there's a ref he'll lose, if there's a GE the Brexit Party might split his vote, and remainers will vote tactically. What he really wants is to keep wearing down CURRENT MPs, not risk going to the people.
