PM Boris Johnson Has Simple Plan to Legally Stop Brexit Extension

If this simple procedure is true, wow… It would mean all of last week’s parliamentary teeth gnashing by the usurping Never-Brexit MP’s was essentially irrelevant.

And he knows how to win. Boris knows how to win. Don’t worry about him. He’s going to be okay. (link)
