No 10 confirms tonight after the vote they’ll try to push for election if EU offers delay

EU sources saying tonight they will offer a ‘flextension’ – a 3 month delay, but “it would be terminated once/if brexit deal ratified”. Will Boris turn down that?

NEW: Looks like PM is going for an election. No 10 source says if a delay is agreed by the EU “the only way the country can move on is with an election.“ They’ll fight it on “get Brexit done with Boris” or face two referendums in 2020 on Brexit and Scotland with Jeremy Corbyn.

Next steps

If the EU agrees to a three month extension Johnson must accept "immediately"

If the EU agrees to a different period parliament can veto it

If the EU turns it down it's a race against time to avoid no deal Brexit on the 31st pic.twitter.com/8zQv6PP3Zj

Breaking News: The U.S. envoy to Ukraine, Bill Taylor, privately testified that President Trump directly tied security aid to his demand for investigations, a lawmaker said.https://t.co/KkBW9AYgDA

Mr. Taylor, our envoy to Ukraine, knew holding up aid to Ukraine in exchange for investigating Trump's opponents was wrong.

He went to then-National Security Advisor John Bolton, who told him to write a cable to Secretary Pompeo. He did that.

What did Pompeo do in response?
