      30 June? If 2R of the WAB is not until w/c 27 May (post EP elections), that's four weeks to pass the WAB. 1.5 for each house, and 0.5 for ping-pong. It's already looking tight. Write off Whitsun recess now + I'm going to assume WAB will still be live w/c 22 July.https://twitter.com/paulwaugh/status/1125782172667924480 …

      But note sounds like new deadline being set too, thanks to Lidington comments. PM's spokesman says: "In relation to the Parliamentary timetable we would look to complete this ideally by June 30, but if not then, by summer recess."

      The legislation is going to need more than four weeks, and even mentioning a hypothetical deadline of 30 June is like offering a deadline to client that you think they want to hear, even when you know you cannot possibly deliver.

          Nikki what has changed in October 2019 such that Boris Johnson thinks it only needs a couple of days now? I'd say your tweet above was right ("it's like offering a deadline to a client you think they want to hear but cannot possibly deliver") Has anything changed now?

          I think the difference is that now the govt has had to publish the full WAB, and so it’s going to take a lot *longer* than four weeks because now MPs are going to start finding all sorts of things they don’t like?Oh no, that’s not the answer Johnson wants, so it can’t be right…

          ha brilliant. it's a tricky period of time to pack for - the wee case too wee, the big case too big. I'd say, on reflection, it's probably legit quicker to negotiate Brexit than pack for a 4 day break, so maybe Nikki Da Costa was wrong all along here 😁

          @CarolineLucas - expect you know this but worth mentioning if you get the chance. Johnson’s own advisers back in May.

          When u acquire a new business or a merger as u full well know it takes months of preparation. Yet the biggest thing to happen to this country since the 40s & it's ok to push through in 3 days?! No point in lawyers any more if this is the case! Why bother with the small print?!
