Evens, it will be this deal or the Letwin amendment which calls for the govt to request an extension is available so that the deal can be fully ratified. The fear from Tory anti no deal brexit supporters is that Boris will get this passed on sat ensuring he does not need to ask for an extension, then brexiters Will vote against the deal later on in parliament.What are the odds that Parliament passes the deal on Saturday?

A promise was made on his behalf in court that he would comply with the law, a law that is quite explicit and unambiguous that he must request personally an extension by 11pm tonight.Ok so the result is that the EU deal has to be discussed piece by piece until final approval. So an extension is probably required. But Boris has said he will not ask for an extension and implies he has a legal way of defying parliaments will on this. We should know later today how that works out as he is legally obliged to send a letter , signed by him , its text defined by the Benn act by 11pm BST tonight
Well I was wrong. He sent 2 letters but the request was unsigned, the signed letter telling the EU to reject the request.Ok so the result is that the EU deal has to be discussed piece by piece until final approval.

He sent an unsigned letter requesting an extension and a signed letter telling them to reject. A blatant criminal act.He sent the mail.
The EU will still extend. They know that they are really talking with parliament and Johnson is only the prime minister. It's obvious who is currently ruling the UK, and it ain't the PM and his cabinet.He sent an unsigned letter requesting an extension and a signed letter telling them to reject. A blatant criminal act.

We'll he should be arrested for contempt of court and parliament. Monday's Monda hearing will be interesting.He complied with the letter of the law rather than the spirit of it. But short of calling an election what is parliament going to do about that.
To us germans it looks like the PM is just the current chief talking head.The news in Germany this morning was stressing the request for an extension rather than Boris's games. But all members need to approve an extension. Who will they go with Primeminster or Parliament?
No its not a criminal act.He sent an unsigned letter requesting an extension and a signed letter telling them to reject. A blatant criminal act.
He is likely guilty of contempt of court/parliament. In sending a signed rejection of an extension with an unsigned request for an extension he blatantly did not abide by the law.No its not a criminal act.
He obeyed the letter of the law, but made it plain that he objected to it.
No law can bind a person's conscience, although Fascists/Socialists are renowned for trying.
You missed my point.He is likely guilty of contempt of court/parliament. In sending a signed rejection of an extension with an unsigned request for an extension he blatantly did not abide by the law.
This is not about binding his conscience, it is about the Rule if Law something Conservatives are supposed to support.
Yes it was.You missed my point.
Sending the letter, signed or not, was compliance of the Law.
Sending his personal letter was not breaking any law.
