Labour have spotted the elephant trap

After taking extensive advice from lawyers and clerks of the House of Commons it was found that a vote for an election this week would give MPs no control over the date on which the election would be held.

This would mean there would be nothing to prevent the Conservatives scrapping the trailed date of the week beginning 14 October and moving it back beyond the 31 October Brexit date.

And with Parliament suspended, MPs would have no way to prevent the UK crashing out with no deal.

Well spotted - Cummings will be frothing at the mouth that his ruse was spotted.
