Government plan to invoke EU law's supremacy to ensure Brexit on Halloween

[jamesbrown]

Behind closed doors Dominic and Boris are celebrating the Benn act. Boris obviously thinks grovelling in Brussels for an extension will be good for his election campaign.

Looking forward to some more panicked measures.

Boris can't avoid the Benn Act. All he can do is to create FUD (hence this thread), which means doing everything lawful to circumvent it, while implying that he might even do some unlawful things too. "Oh, noes!".

You'd need to be pretty stupid to fall for this.

If the moderate remainers in Parliament had any sense, they'd push through the WA as it exists today, with a referendum attached and then have a GE. Perhaps even delay the GE until after the second ref, but that probably isn't achievable (would need 6 months, plus chaos in the interim). That is the absolute worst case scenario for Boris in the ensuing GE.

Not FUD, just stupidity

He's already tried the unlawful route, he'd try again if he thinks he might get away with it.
