Potential motion for an election coming..........>

UK: Potential motion for an election coming today... Could take different forms.

- Sun's Tom Newton-Dunn: "Geoffrey Cox appears to have let slip that Boris

Johnson is going to table a third FTPA vote to try to force a general election.

Tells SNP MP: "Can I encourage her then to vote for the election motion that

will be coming before the house shortly?""

- But earlier, Cox said "All we need is a one-line bill...that we could put

through, fixing the date of the general election."

- A key difference: FTPA requires 2/3 majority of MPs to call election; one-line

'notwithstanding' bill requires simple majority to call election.

- Also: Guardian's Heather Stewart: "Labour not ruling out backing a one-line

bill setting an early date for a general election, I understand - as long as the

Benn bill can be made watertight. Government previously rejected the idea,

fearing it could be amended - but Geoffrey Cox resurrected it this morning."
