It will be the EU that will decide what comes next.

It would appear there are three broad options available to the EU :

First, refuse any extension beyond that already granted, i.e: 12th April – this would probably force a No Deal and this will be unpalatable to the UK as well as member states.

Second, allow only a short extension until, say, 22nd May while ruling out further extension.

Third, offer a long extension, with various possible conditions.

Yes Pussay you are correct (I hear it happens occasionally) because Parliament who took control of the process is no better at it than Mrs May.

As I said in my post I think the next meaningful move will be from the EU.

tbh, I don't see what's wrong with it, it's a fair compromise, as is Common Market 2.0

Because it’s not what many many people voted leave for, and leave politicians hold the same view. These proposals are not much different to remain.

I fully endorse these sentiments.

The reality of dumb unthinking brexit is that power is going to the EU.

Not that they ever wanted it.

Revoke Article 50.

General election.

No more referendums.

No more tories.

I can dream.......

She'd be mad - and on maternity leave, this lot seem unleadable at the moment - Ruth's time will come I'm sure.

Ruth Davidson is a remainer.

They’re being assertive now because of May’ useless skills at negotiating. It doesn’t mean that the EU needs good terms for its trade with the U.K.

You're probably right as not only are we a very important export partner for many EU companies we also pay nearly 12% of the EU's budget which is going to cause them pain when those payments stop

Absolutely right.It is nigh on certain that the next leader of the Conservatives will be a Brexiteer.

Rubbish, they love it. Always want to be in control and unfortunately our Remain MPs (including May) allowed them to be.

No deal is not going to happen.

So given that stone cold fact, what is your suggestion then, Hrolf?

I have already told you.

Disqualify Remains from voting.

If we cannot have something worthy of the name Brexit then a no deal is the only option left.

It was clear from early on that the EU and Theresa May wanted to sell us something that was akin to remaining.

Not good enough.

Why is it people view this as some sort of game? You seem to revel in the idea that the EU would suffer, but if Europe suffers we all suffer, our financial markets and supply chains are all intrinsically linked and the ripples are felt over here, perhaps your company is invested in it or your pension is linked into these markets?

I think we should have selective voting in future

They will still be at it after leaving, if not worse.

The EU blame game.

I shall have to be very careful how I respond as I am getting increasingly irritated by the garbage that you post.

Let's just say that I was responding to your fatuous post and if anyone was treating our exit from the EU as a game it is yourself and your childish and meaningless sound bites

The EU blame game.

It was started by Thatcher 'we have to have someone to blame' after her chancellor Lawsons ERM cock-up.

Get it off your desk, privatise it, get rid of it so it is not your fault, that's how the tories operate.

Knife crime? Who can we blame? The teaching profession it is really like that.

Lawson is doing well out of brexit - loads of lolly and a nice life in France as a 'silver spoon' tory grandee.

On form this morning
