Slightly more idea now

The second reading of the WAB has passed, but only so that MPs can amend it.

And then the programming vote failed, in which the PM tried to get all stages of the bill done in two and a half days. MPs refused, and now Johnson has "paused" the WAB.

This means the UK now waits to see what extension, if any, the EU offers.

Johnson is pressing for an extension of just a month, but the formal request was until January 2020.

It might all depend on France.

It is a fucking mess to be honest.

Glad I'm not listening to events taking place, just the summary at the end of the day.

Now Parliament will switch to debating the pointless Queen's speech, which had been pulled this week.
