31 Jan seems to be the favourite.Well it’s either going to be a deal or extension and as a deal isn’t happening anytime soon then it’s going to be an extension. Big question is for how long.
The EU have previously said that they would only grant an extension for a specific purpose, a referendum or election. But, when Johnson is forced to ask for an election, presumably he will not tell them what the next steps are. Partly out of bloody mindedness, partly because he will not know.
