John Milton's First Folio has been identified thanks to his marginal notes. The copy is in the possession of the Free Library of Philadelphia.

Boris...

Of course Boris will drag us out on the 31st October. He will have to ask for an extension as the new law forces him to; and then either he, or maybe France (if he's managed to piss them off enough) will veto any further extension and therefore we will crash out.

Simples, as Mrs May said.

And no doubt there will be legal challenges as a smokescreen and the matter will happen and be challenged by the courts, but by then it will be too late.

That Dominic is a smart lad. Faits accompli can always be confused with leadership given the right spin. The opposition are all a bit slow on the uptake. For some reason or other they think they have tied Boris's hands. Let's see.
