Emmanuel Macron: "In the case of a negative vote in the British Parliament, we will be going to a no-deal, we all know that.
"It is absolutely essential to be clear in these days and these moments, because it is a matter of the good functioning of the EU.
"We cannot have what I would call an excessive extension which would harm our capacity to decision and to act.”

Just in case anyone still thinks they can see a hint of anyone failing to rule out a long delay. Unanimity is required for any extension to be granted. Macron will agree to a short technical extension to allow the WA to be implemented, but if Parliament rejects it again, there will be a No Deal Brexit.
