In view of the tight spot TM is in, and the prospect of never getting her
withdrawal agreement accepted by the House, she could ask the EU to agree to a protection period as we crash out of the EU and prorogue Parliament immediately, resuming on 1 April (good date!) to enact the necessary legislation to come into effect at the end of the protection period.
Annoying for some....
