It looks like Boris and Dominic have miscalculated badly here.

We'll see what happens in the next 48 hours but it looks like their attempt to shut down Parliament so that we will default into a no deal Brexit have failed.

And secondly, their attempt to have a General Election if today's vote goes through also looks doomed to failure.

Boris tells us that he will not in any circumstance ask the EU for a further extension...but if the vote passes today and Parliament doesn't vote for a GE then what can he do? Resign?

He has allowed himself to be badly out outmaneuvered here.
