Text of letter sent by Boris Johnson to Tory members last night:
"I don’t want an election... But Labour MPs have left us no choice. They just passed a law that would force me to beg Brussels for an extension to the Brexit deadline. This is something I will never do."
More from PM:
"This would cause more delay and more chaos. And that means our economy would suffer and our priorities would be ignored. I won’t accept Labour’s delay. That’s why I’m calling for an election. And as a member, your help is needed now more than ever."

It has been confirmed that Rebel MP’s agreed with the EU about forcing this extension ! Now in any language that is a coup ! Colluding with a foreign power to oppose your own government overthrow it even . MSM not mentioned it !!
@robpowellnews
They will only force him to extend if he doesn't come back with the new deal he has been claiming he is getting from the EU. Get the deal you have said you're working on, bring it back and pass it. Sorted. No need for GE unless you're not actually working on a deal?

Let's ask the people to evaluate their MPs?
63% Labour and 75% Tory constituencys voted majority Leave
I'm guessing MPs aren't looking forward to an election?

It’s interesting that new EU tax evasion rules come into play on 31st Oct. no coincidence that the super rich want a Brexit on this day.

The Parliament trying to force the PM to do what they absolutely can't do themselves because they weren't elected. The bill is a con and they know it

Advise HMQ to not sign the

Force opposition to agree a GE to secure their own PM to take it forward for royal assent.
They'd better be quick, because time is running out if they want it in place before Oct 31st
