The Lib Dems and SNP offer Johnson December 9th election

A bid by the Liberal Democrats and the Scottish Nationalists to back a December election has been dismissed by the Conservatives as a ‘gimmick’.

The two opposition parties claimed they’d come up with a plan to  fix a ‘legally certain’ election date for December 9th, while ruling out a no-deal Brexit in the short term.

The Government hasn’t completely ruled out the idea.
