(101,149 posts)7. The vote today was to take control of the parliamentary timetable
The bill itself now comes up tomorrow (and will need until at least Friday to get through the complete process - readings in the Lords as well (which everyone seems to think should go through OK, unless the Tories have some spoiling tactic others haven't thought of yet)).

If Corbyn is smart he will demand Johnson ask for the extension to article 50 first before signing on to a new election. That's a big if though. Some shadow cabinet ministers have already added that demand.
