The LDs propose plan that would give Johnson a December election
? NEW: A new plan tonight to offer Boris Johnson the pre-Christmas election he craves. ?
The Lib Dems have drawn up a bill that would allow Johnson to secure a December election with a simple majority of MPs. Crucially, the SNP will back it.

Their plan would be that the bill, if adopted by Johnson, could be taken through parliament on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.
Parliament dissolves next Monday. Election December 9. Happy days.

So, why would they propose this, rather than back PM’s offer on Monday of an election on December 12, just 3 days later?
Lib Dems say their plan would mean Johnson has no time to bring back his Brexit bill, so it would be a pre-Brexit election. (Oh, and more students about)
