Analysts at TD Securities note that in the UK, MPs approved a bill mandating an Article 50 extension should they not agree to a deal by 19 October, and also rebuffed Boris Johnson's attempt to trigger a 15-October election.

• “The Extension Bill heads to the House of Lords now for a final few days of showdown there. In a procedural tactic by the government, aimed at ambushing the bill, an amendment requiring Theresa May’s deal to be put to a vote yet again was also passed.”
