What are Theresa's May's choices if the EU say yes to her extension request?
- Keep on plugging away at something akin to her current deal but with a slight modification so it can be voted on again.
- Come up with a softer deal that will around some of the opposition.
- Preside over a disastrous no-deal.
- Resign and ask for another extension.

It's delaying tactic she knows it'll take the Eu 12 years to work out who pays for the postage.

This has always been the case. The ERG, led by a certain Mr Mogg, seek to achieve a UK where they and their friends in business can maximise their profits at the expense of the general population.

Let's be very clear here: the ERG do not give a monkeys about the unemployed Leave voters in the North East of England.

Old Boy you are following the flawed narrative that no deal is inevitable without this deal. That is simply not the case.

It's possibly not inevitable, but it is highly likely while the current impasse lasts. What other solution is there? What if there's no agreement in the Commons to extend the deal? 29 March is only next week! There's no time for anything except a no deal if an extension isn't agreed, nor for Theresa May's deal if Bercow won't allow a further vote.

The EU is clearly not going to re-negotiate at this late stage and with the Commons in disarray.

The people must, and will, be heard!

Unemployed voters in the North East of England? I thought unemployment was at its lowest level ever. And it's still coming down.

Time to update your song sheet, I think, you must have the 2010 version!

I have never been more confident of our EU membership continuing into July.

The Commons don’t have to agree with an extension of Article 50. The Government exercises that through Royal Perogative. It leaves us in breach of treaty obligations only, but legally within the EU.

You are also conflating record levels of employment and low unemployment. Your assumption works only if the population is a fixed number, which it isn’t.
