              My thoughts too. If extension offers, and parliament insists extension is taken, then Boris has to take it? ..
              No, negotiating with foreign powers is a royal prerogative and therefore within the remit of BJ as a minister.

              Also, in vetoing an extension he would be acting entirely within EU law, which takes precedence over UK law.

              The snag is if the current ridiculous "No No Deal" law receives royal assent then HMQ is unlikely to want to consent to an action whose result would be the opposite, especially as the Tories no longer have a majority in Parliament.

                Royal prerogative is in abeyance to statute (that was established back in the early part of the 20th century, IIRC).

                A50 dictates that the departing state has no veto on a Council decision.

                It's debatable whether they could block RA, but probably won't.

                (I'm a leaver, BTW, but you need to understand the reality)

                  Also depends on how well the Act is drafted. Grieve et al. are well-known for being a bit thick on that front, but they had a lot of help this time and probably spent months drafting the Bill. Unlikely to be a lawful way around it, but we'll see.

                    Not if parliament legislates to change that.

                      Indeed the opposition now has a cohesive majority not under the Tory whip. Boris has no chance. They will humiliate him until he resigns and then replace him with either Corbyn or an alternative until an election in November. Boris is now sinking in the polls, 4% down and Labour is up 4%. The more he his humiliated the further he sinks.
