Will be very interesting to follow this in the House Of Commons.

The belief in the UK media is that the ERG will vote for the new deal. Still many questions about DUP, those Tories that thrown out, the independents.

I don’t see how this passes HOC. And that might suit Johnson and he gets his election.

I found this article interesting:

"Boris Johnson will need backing of almost all 21 MPs he expelled to pass deal with EU"

Well don’t forget there are many Labour Rebels he can probably count on too. And anyone’s guess who among the expelled will vote with him.
Saturday is going to be fascinating.

Arlene Foster just said on radio ‘you can’t separate part of a nation from the rest of the nation’
Irony and self awareness aren’t the DUPs strong points.

Oh wow. Whispers now that DUP are being threatened. Vote for this deal or border poll.

So in reading
Jon Worth's latest flow chart, he still has the odds of an extension overwhelmingly in its favor. Thus, is this just an empty threat by Juncker?

Seems to be just supporting Johnson and sending a message to parliament. God knows at this stage. But only one day for all parties to review the full text is a big ask.
They’re gonna vote it down unless something really shocking happens.
Few of the expelled rebels have said they’ll support it going through.
Anyone’s guess until Saturday

This whole consent thing is potentially fraught with danger. But unlikely to ever manifest.
EU parliament tonight
