Full headline: Boris Johnson sends the EU THREE letters: One (not signed by him) asks to delay Brexit beyond Oct 31, the second makes clear the first is from Parliament - not the Government, and the third urges Brussels NOT to grant an extension

Johnson may fail. But if he does, he's going down fighting for his country.

It will be ugly for the other parties when the election comes up. Bet on it!

Boris does an ‘end around’ ... Lol !!! .

Sounds like the ball is back in the EU’s court. If they say ‘No Extension’ Corbyn and his crowd will be blamed for the ‘no agreement Brexit’

The second was a covering letter, written by Sir Tim Barrow, the UK's Permanent Representative in Brussels, which made clear that the first letter was from Parliament, not the Government.

Very smart move - bet the Remoaners never saw that coming ...

Frau Merkel,who clearly calls the tune in Europe today (behind the scenes,of course),is determined to win and my money's on her winning in the end.

Just as the European Swamp did with Ireland a few years back...Irish voters,of course,having had the audacity to vote down an EU Treaty...Merkel's puppets will delay things so long that there's a second referendum held. During *that* campaign her puppets in Britain will conduct a campaign worthy of Mao's Red Guards circa 1966.

Parliament keeps passing Laws to stop Boris which is crazy and means they’ll never get out

Johnson gave the Remoaners the middle finger...”up yours!”

They can vote no confidence in him, which they don’t want. They won’t win fresh elections.

He will get his Brexit, come hell or high water.

I am not so sure. Johnson does not want a clean break. And Farage and the DUP have made clear they will not support the deal. If there is an election, Brexit and Conservatives will split vote in Labour areas (north) and Labour may yet get in power. If Corbyn or Corbyn + LibDem is the govt, there will be NO Brexit.

Best thing for Johnson is to prepare for an election with Brexit Party as partners. Brexit will prevail in the North, and Conservatives the South? And then they can negotiate trade deals out of EU. But Johnson will not deal with Brexit, which tells me he may not even want to win the election.

If the EU grants an extension then IMHO it should be very apparent to the UK fencesitters that they are being played by EU/UK deep staters. Those fencesitters are likely to be sick of yet another delay, so I would anticipate that most of them would side with the hard Brexiteers in any upcoming election. Boris should agitate for an immediate election and catch the support of upset fencesitters while providing a diversion from the ticking clock, all the while reiterating his derision for the EU to have meddled yet again with UK internal affairs for their own (EU’s own) selfish interests, in contrast to their ostensible support for national democracy. Once Boris and Brexit win the election, imho, a path to a clean, hard brexit still seems possible. (Of course, I might be missing something...)
