Borrowed time

Good afternoon. Here's what you need to know to end your day.

The EU granted a Brexit extension until Jan. 31 after France's President Emmanuel Macron, who'd pushed for a shorter delay, fell into line. Boris Johnson will make another push for an early election later today. He may have a chance after the Liberal Democrats and the Scottish National Party indicated they'll work together try to force a snap poll. The opposition Labour Party has said it won't support the move unless a no-deal Brexit is ruled out.
