Another complication in this argument that’s often overlooked is when people conflate “constituency X voted leave” with “potential Labour voters in constituency X voted leave”.

No way May would renege on a promise and delay anything. It’s unthinkable!

The Stoke south thing hurts my brain a little bit.

Imagine living in Stoke and voting for a Tory MP. Imagine being 27 years old and wanting to be a Tory MP. It’s just all so wrong.

May has apparently proposed HoC votes on either extending A50 or having a ‘no deal’ in the event her deal gets voted down. :+1: Thank fuck…

EDIT: Theresa May offers MPs Brexit delay vote - BBC News

As with the John Harris racism safari articles in the Guardian, it’s pretty clear that the author knew what they were going to find before they made the trip up.

Unfortunately…

Another on requesting an extension to the two-year Article 50 negotiation process to delay EU withdrawal beyond 29 March.

The EU have already said that without good reason they are not going to agree to an extension, meaning that it remains no deal or rescind Article 50 and can we really see her doing that? Just a convenient way of blaming our no deal catastrophe on EU intransigence :scream::scream::scream_cat:

That’s no longer true.

The EU wants to avoid the UK leaving without a deal, as this will impact many of the member states badly.

Speaking after meeting Theresa May at Sharm el-Sheikh, Donald Tusk has said that postponing the UK’s departure would make sense because “it is clear there is no majority” for May’s Brexit deal in the Commons. He said a delay was now the “rational solution” for Britain, given the short amount of time left to avoid a “chaotic” exit from the EU.

This view has been echoed by a growing list of EU leaders.

so it’s going to come down to No Deal v No Brexit?

#173

It’s going to be about avoiding both. This is going to drag and drag until another referendum happens or until the Tories make some tiny alterations to Theresa May’s deal which a majority of MPs can pass off as ‘victories for common sense’.

#174

The simplest Mash headlines are always the best:

#175

Genuinely worried that someone like Giuseppe Conte could veto an extension to own the globalists or something.

#176

Nope.

May has explicitly told MPs she won’t revoke Article 50. So the three possible Brexit outcomes are:

  • Leave with deal on March 29
  • Leave with deal by end of June
  • Leave with no deal by end of June.
#177

so she’s essentially just folding her arms and saying

“I don’t care how long it takes, you WILL do what I tell you.”

great

First one will obviously be taken off the table when she postpones the vote for another month…
