@SzMarsupial well, we could extend the deadline and do whatever. the Letwin amendment pushes back the point where Parliament has to approve the deal, which means Johnson will be obliged to ask for an extension (because it won't be approved by Parliament by the point the Benn Act says)

@SzMarsupial (the Letwin amendment says that Parliament approves the deal after it passes all the legislation needed to sort out the deal, not on Saturday. so it leaves things theoretically on track, but removes the knife edge element by requiring an extension to be asked for)
