Boris Johnson during the general election debate in the Commons on Monday eveningDoes it mean no election? Last night Lib Dems suggested they wouldn’t vote for Mr Johnson’s later election date, potentially throwing a huge spanner in the works. Lib Dem leader Jo Swinson is also concerned Mr Johnson could try to bring the Brexit Bill back and rush it through before polling day. If the Bill doesn’t pass its second reading in the Commons today cleanly, then the pre-Christmas election is effectively off. The Lib Dems and SNP would be killing off the election if they voted in favour of such changes.
