Well consider, what if when the FO is trying to negotiate trade deals with South American nations some bright spark decides to link trade and a resolution to Britain's 'illegal occupation' of the Falklands...
 
What is the case law that suggests the prime Minister can't send a separate letter to the EU along with the request for extension? Or asking another country to veto it?

Jo Swinson is still adamant that the Coalition did a great job, that austerity was the correct response to the global financial crisis and the way it was targeted at the poorest and most vulnerable in society was proportionate, humane and reasonable.

HTH.

You are judging the Lib Dems by political standards from 5 years back. Nowadays, it's a case of wondering "are they worse than Piers Morgan's face just after he's ejaculated?", and there, the choice is limited.

This is it. I think there are massive problems with every party right now, but when the time comes I'm going to look at the polls in my constituency and vote for whoever is most likely to beat the Tory candidate.
 
"Boris Johnson will tell the outgoing European commission president, Jean-Claude Juncker, on Monday that he will defy a new act of parliament and refuse to discuss or accept any offer to extend the UK’s membership even if a Brexit deal cannot be agreed, Downing Street said last night.

Is this maximum mayhem to pave the way for a post-31st election with the Brexit Party now sidelined? Is that the only objective, to secure his place in #10?

That opinion polls give the Tories a lead, will further convince Boris he can defy Parliament and the courts and leave. He has the people's support.

He is in a strong position with that lead, as he can point to him being the democrat and Parliament and the courts being anti-democracy and the will of the people.

Not as strong as the headline figures suggest. The following makes interesting reading:

Johnson is sure he would win an election. A closer look at the polls says otherwise
