O RLY? (none / 0)

Important that Speaker Bercow says he would sign letter asking for Brexit delay if either the courts or parliament asked him to do so - and if of course @BorisJohnson failed to properly request a delay. This in response to question from @joannaccherry

furthermore

.@joannaccherry says Boris Johnson has behaved childishly but the EU will take the extension request seriously and could delay Brexit until February 2020.

The Act clearly requires the Prime Minister to send the letter, never mind what Bercow said he might do.

Cherry is no more germane to the matter than Bercow.

The question is what that Act required the PM to do, and what the PM did.

And, not without interest, what the reaction of the EU will be to what the PM did.
