Someone has figured out the "extension". It's a 1hr extension during the time zone. Loophole! Hedge fund friends get rich, doesn't break the law.

I don't think that loophole holds up as the Benn Act would be enabled due to there not being a successful Meaningful Vote 4 from 19 October and the requirement to extend A50 is till 31 January. It's also a requirement that if the EU were to give an alternative deadline he has to agree to it so it's easily sidestepped as well. There are other legal requirements he can't hit if he plays with the deadline that way too.

A memo has been leaked from No.10 revealing that the Government is threatening EU countries with a refusal to work with them if they grant an extension to A50 . The memo is said to have come from a, once again, overreaching Cummings and includes the passage:
We will make clear privately and publicly that countries which oppose delay will go the front of the queue for future cooperation — cooperation on things both within and outside EU competences. Those who support delay will go to the bottom of the queue. [This source also made clear that defence and security cooperation will inevitably be affected if the EU tries to keep Britain in against the will of its government] Supporting delay will be seen by this government as hostile interference in domestic politics, and over half of the public will agree with us.
This is seemingly being seen as an empty threat because all EU countries need to agree to an extension which would put the entire EU27 to the back of the line according to Cummings, thereby meaning they all remained at the front of the line also.
As per the plan to sabotage Brexit, No.10 is now exiting further talks with the EU for a Deal. Labour has levied this exact accusation against the Tories in response.

Boris has called the XR protestors names:
He sounds like a politician in the 60s shouting about hippies. Hell, he jokes about them having nose-rings. Next he's gonna say something hilarious about airline food.

He comes out with nonsense like this any time he needs a distraction, he's been doing it for years. He plays it off as eccentric behaviour, but it's just a tactic to make people start talking about something else. His detractors will start picking apart his words, his supporters will either support it or laugh it off, but it means that for a while nobody is really talking about the latest scandal/allegation/screw-up.
