UK: Decent enough summary from BBC's Kuenssberg here - nothing new, but sums up
well:
- Not sure he will spell it out at the despatch box, but it seems if MP s won't
agree govt timetable for Brexit legislation tonight, they will pull it, and if
EU then offers a delay, they would push straight for an election instead
- No 10 source says, 'if Parliament votes again for delay by voting down the
programme motion, and the EU offers delay until 31 Jan -- then we will pull the
Bill, there will be no further business for Parliament and we'll move to an
election before Christmas'
- Understand there have been pretty fraught conversations among Tory MPs over
whether to do this or keep going and accept a slower timetable set by Parliament
- govt seems to have chosen instead essentially to go on strike if the Brexit
legislation doesn't progress tonight
