I was only speculating.
In today’s political climate with Trump/Putin in the ascendancy it wouldn’t surprise me in the least, especially when you consider Johnson’s character and history, and the spectre of Putin possibly in the background.
Then again maybe he told the Tories to fuck off and deal with the problem themselves, though there must be a reason why someone quite in-the-know would say (under Chatham House rules) that s/he thinks it will all end up in court.
I posted a tweet a2 days ago? About Trump asking the UK to help in the Ukraine stuff, so it’s not all speculation. 
ffs. Recommend you read the whole short thread.
Guess this is why it’s going to court. You’d hope that pretending to follow the law whilst actually not is straightforwardly illegal, but if the requirement really is just to send a letter rather than functionally ask for an extension then lots of scope for exciting legalese.
Rory Stewart resigning from the Tory party to stand as an independent for London Mayor (something of a non-job) is a sure sign of how he sees things panning out.
Kuenssberg is basically the PM’s spokesperson at this point. Constantly dropping anonymous “quotes from a no.10 source” that get Johnson’s message out perfectly with zero accountability.
Pretty clear she has a hotline to Cummings.
The meeting with the Hungarian government is quite disturbing at this time. A veto would satisfy arch-strategist Cummings’ obsessions with achieving Brexit and fucking over the EU simultaneously.

Unfortunately the Hungarian PM is Err like BoJo.
What page of he training manual was that on?
That thread is depressing.
As far as I understand things (and I’m a UK citizen living in the EU, so have tried to follow stuff about rights to live and so on) then the UK government has always said that EU citizens resident in the UK would keep their rights to stay in the event of a no deal. May said it and Johnson re-confirmed it when he became PM.
Yeah… I’m sure that’s the correct.
What are we looking at in that video? I can’t make out the song.
