Only a guess on my part! But sure why not. £50?

£25? I've already got a £25 bet with someone else on here. I forget who it was, I should really find out and start looking at which charity I'd like my winnings to go to

Terms =Boris asks for an extension, you win
No deal = I win

Parliament somehow force an extension = bet is void.

Parliament force boris to seek an extension and he takes it = you win?

I think that's fair

If even remotely accurate Boris should go for an election right now surely.

I think he would go Nov 1 with a fast campaign having "delivered" Brexit - but before any economic impacts / shortages are felt? That way he would get the Brexit party vote as well?

HS2 “review” as well just to get the Brexity-Middle England voters back on board

I have long thought this might be Boris' 'money tree' and a source of funds for his many financial promises.
Cancel HS2 and he's got £85 billion to play with.

Runs through his constituency doesn’t it? And doesn’t he have a reduced majority as well?

He seems to have been on an election footing ever since coming in as leader. He may want others to take the blame for that election though.

Not really. If no deal is as bad as his own government reports predict it might be, he’s done anyway.
... !

Out of interest, what are his own government predicting?

Quite understandable if he was to do that. A true patriot.......

Thinking back he was also anti-Heathrow runway three. Remember Boris Island in the Thames Estuary? I thought that made sense actually and binning LHR Runway three once and for all would win him lots of support.

Eddie Mair just mentioned some comments Johnson made a couple of years ago about the EU.

When I've spoken about his character before I've mentioned how some of these may come back to bit at things like press conferences.

I thought Trump was funny a couple of years ago, but I'm not laughing now...no-one, other than people who already hate Boris, will care.

Do the Eu & The National Socialist German Workers' Party share the aim of unifying Europe under one “authority, Yes/No

Not really a yes/no question is it given they both have slightly different ideas on how to unify Europe.

It's a dumb comparison for anyone to try and make IMO.

Thought he came across quite well in his appearance just now with Merkel.

She did actually say they will look at a deal again, after all the posturing saying there was no discussion to be had.

BBC being their usual obtuse selves.
