Wrong. The law has not changed. So it’s not inevitable at all.

Honest question, do you actually think we will leave on the 29th ?

As it stands I follow the laws of the land. The Statute has that date for leaving, until another Statute appears that changes that date. We are still leaving.

There is a lot of shenanigans and stuff but in the end, it’s just noise.

I get that, I'm asking you for your personal opinion on if you think we will leave on the 29th with or without the withdrawal agreement in place.

Not a trick question in any way, just want to understand from someone who's the opposite side of the fence so to speak. :)

She'll try and get the vote through hence the three months, if it fails again then GE and a two year extension.

Interesting times

Re: Brexit(New).

I think the EU want that. They don't want to have a rolling three months so it's either get it sorted now or have the time to sort something else out.

It’s arguable whether the law actually facilitates leaving the EU legally if the Government asks for an extension. In any case, it can be amended by statutory instrument immediately following a vote in both Houses. No second readings, no committees. A straightforward yes or no vote.

Re: Brexit(New).

I’m sticking my neck out here but on the basis of the information we now have I think we’re heading either for a 30 June extension or No Deal.

The EU will do itself no favours by agreeing a long extension and won’t do us any either. I think they will conclude its time to lance the boil, and I have a sneaking suspicion that May will actually thank them for it.

Why would they, with so many appeasers only too ready and willing to wave the white flag in their direction.
