They are not thinking this through. Suppose the rebel alliance gets its way and passes a law that requires BoJo to go to Brussels to ask for an extension, how do they think that will work? He goes, he says 'I'm told to ask for an extension. I don't know why Parliament wants one, I don't know what Parliament are planning to do with any extra time. I can see no evidence of any consensus in Parliament as to what to do and can't see how the position will change'
That will go down well.
