Almost 1.3 would suggest some people expect it to get through tomorrow?

Only if the Letwin amendment get's through though.

If the Letwin amendment goes through Government will send their  MPs home. Action would move to Tuesday evening and second reading of the Withdrawal Act Bill

and they send the extension letter

If Boris manages to get to a MV without any of the shenanigan amendments and wins, he will probably go down as the greatest peace time Prime Minister since the war.

Haha, you have something of a point and I should have said WWII for precision.

I was trying to exclude wartime PM Tony Blair, the greatest leader since WWII

Or the worst, depending on which side of the fence you sit (or on it if your name is Jeremy Corbyn).

Brexit Secretary Steve Barclay confirmed earlier on the BBC news that the UK Government have done no economic analysis of Boris Johnson’s deal. I

Isn't it very strange that he expects MPs to vote for the deal without this?

The answer is 4-6% off GDP by the way compared to no Deal at - 8 and May at - 2/3.

Letwin analogy suggestion:

Agreeing any deal is like buying a house off a plan. There will always be some surprises.

Agreeing a deal without seeing its implementation or economic impact assessment is buying a house off an artist's rendering, in a suburb to be named later.
