Any extension cannot be just for the sake of yet more shouting and arguing in the House of Commons. Instead of aiming for a losing hattrick and holding a third vote on the Withdrawal Agreement, it's time to ask the British people…

Europe must be able to close our banks and borders to those who attack human rights and this proposal will give us the tools to do exactly that
