It was part of a ploy because he knows that the unsigned letter has no legal force and therefore cannot be legally acted upon.
I agree that it's a ploy, but for a different (or perhaps an additional) reason. One key point is that he deliberately advertised the absence of signature. If he was being really sneaky, he could have left it unsigned and kept quiet about the fact. Why advertise? Because he WANTS the opposition to react with indignation. It's a winding-up exercise, like Donald Trump's tweeting. Reacting with indignation, they spend their mental energies (and money) on forcing him to add a signature- which cannot alter the fact that his intended message has already been heard by the EU leaders by a variety of routes. This distracts them from spending their mental energies on more practical matters like forcing him to accept any extension offered.

What positive things would you have me say oldcarpy?
Where is the positivity in putting forward and tabling a deal that he knew would fail in parliament?
Positive???
Im positive that Boris is a complete and utter Tory bastard of the first order, out to line his own, and people just like hims pockets.
Ile get a grip, when the politicians and Boris start to make a modicum of sense, so no time soon.

So show us all your solutions.
Mobbing and rioting and emulating Hong Kong, you think that will work?
Could you organize cutting the head off our chickens?
Because when you are finished with your rioting and London is in flames "They" all need to be dead.
The only place you would end up is in a gaol cell screaming for your mammy most lightly whilst ten Polis beat you black and blue. x

So it's not just a toys out the pram attempt at Boris levity and discombobulation?
I thought the letter was on behalf of the ruling government of which Boris is supposed to be the head honcho?
Even if he has only won one vote in Parliament since his arrival.
Nothing to do with the fact that he said he would rather be dead in a ditch than go back to the EU cap in hand?

Brexit is a fascist coup on UK democracy. Perpetrated by Cambridge Analytica type actors and funded illegally.
Built on a campaign of lies and untruths. Exploiting racist views and paranoid driven xenophobia.
Designed to divide the UK and create parliamentary chaos.
There is nothing to be gained from separating from the EU and everything to lose by pushing this " advisory " referendum result through to it's damaging conclusion.
I hope there is an amendment added to the bill further on which allows for a final referendum so we can vote this down once and for all.

It is high time for me to put an end to your sitting in this place, which you have dishonored by your contempt of all virtue, and defiled by your practice of every vice.
Ye are a factious crew, and enemies to all good government...

Well "we" voted to leave but lets just ignore that, shall we?
Give me strength....

The part some of us are unwilling to ignore is the campaign of disinformation and lies, funded by a Tory billionaire and masterminded by Cummings (neither of whose interests are likely to coincide with yours or mine), aided by Cambridge Analytica, courtesy of Facebook, whose overspending breached electoral law - which fact alone nullifies the legitimacy of the referendum results.
