The Bill removes the separate requirement for an MV, so MPs' only shot at blocking this is to block the Bill. And the Bill also allows No Deal at end of next year.
And there's no time to scrutinise it in depth.

Clause 30 of the EU (Withdrawal Agreement) Bill. What happens if the Government doesn’t propose an extension? Parliament would have no say and we would exit the transition period on the 31 Dec 2020 even if a trade agreement hadn’t been reached by then with the EU; ie no deal.

Sleeve rolling time! 🇪🇺🇬🇧
As Mr Klopp said, we work. Harder, longer, more often.
30% of British businesses have stopped trading with EU post Brexit - but there are no new trade deals to provide new markets. Brexit is making us poorer.
Brexit snags force firms to cut trading ties with EU

General Election will not stop Brexit.
It's time for
@Keir_Starmer
@tom_watson
@EmilyThornberry
@OwenSmith_MP
@leicesterliz
to stand up.
#WalkOutOnLabour
#PVFirst
The arrogance of
@BorisJohnson
He has a majority of minus 45, yet thinks he can dictate to Parliament, when the
#GeneralElection
should be held and thinks he can blackmail Parliament to accept his crap
#BrexitDealUEuropea
Parliament must reject his demands

Crucial point!
LibDems give most to the poor, borrow least, and have the only credible manifesto.
And you still want to vote Lab-Con?
Give the UK the Christmas present it deserves!

1)
@resfoundation
shows Lib Dem manifesto would benefit the bottom 10% >Labour's, while the Tories would take from the bottom 70%! 2)
@TheIFS
discredits not only Labour's but also the Tories' costings.
@LibDems
have the most progressive AND pragmatic ideas

For those *still* sceptical about EU attitude to
#RejoinEU
Even at this small step,
@vonderleyen
talks of a new chapter & standing shoulder to shoulder
Top politicians encourage & support outcomes they want
They didn't want Brexit. They'll welcome it crumbling

I've been booking tables. Reviews won't necessarily be read by Russians - unless Anon can tell them it's now their window on the world.
But bookings go directly to a Russian person. I ask them politely to share the info, then give a Tweet link to a video or other fact.

OK. Forgive the thread.
Remember
@AstraZeneca
, the UK company that mysteriously lied about its contract with
@EU_Commission
,
@vonderleyen
&
@SKyriakidesEU
?
At the same time they said EU must get 30m not 80/100m doses they offered vax directly to 4 member states @ higher price.
The linked article states with an attributed quote that while AZ was telling EU
@vonderleyen
and
@SKyriakidesEU
it could only supply 30m doses not 80/100m it was offering the SAME vaccine to member states at a higher price.
Profiteering & trying to break EU.

I live in London. I recently saw a domestic cat use a pedestrian crossing. A fox ran to catch up, & the two walked over the rest of the crossing side by side. Fox made no attempt to attack cat, and cat showed no alarm as fox arrived. They stood together a mo on verge, then split.

The second para of this is perhaps the ultimate Brexit lie.
The EU is its member states. When the UK was one, it played a very big role in setting the rules of the single market.
Far from being incompatible with UK sovereignty, those rules were an *exercise* of our sovereignty.
