So if Boris can't get a GE?

OK, so if you believe he can't be trusted to abide by the law, and I'm not questioning that opinion, how could Parliament force him to negotiate an extension? He could just not comply.

Parliament can legislate to give that power to the Speaker.

Go on, have a think. If it is written into law then, he will be breaking the law. What normally happens when someone breaks the law? Go on .... you can do it .... give thinking a real try and you'll get to the answer

I don't think even Johnson would be crazy enough to break the law but, if he did, under these extraordinary circumstances, the EU might accept a request for an extension from someone else.

The EU will accept a request and agreement for extension from whoever in the UK has the legal authority. And Parliament can legislate for this.

Why do we need to check?

Which question? You need to realise that I don't spend my time hanging on your every word.

To take back control of the borders and who comes in and out? Thought that was one of the main points of Brexit...

It wasn't me that said it, but it was in response to your post about the CTA.
