As I’ve suspected, no one member state wants to take the blame for a No Deal Brexit, and no number of small member states could afford to pyss off Germany by forcing it. Only France, with moral support from at least one other significant member, could get away with it.

I really don’t know what May is thinking asking for basically the same extension date she asked for - and was denied - less than two weeks ago. She can only imagine she has some way of convincing the 27 that there’s sufficient progress to justify it. The problem with that is that simply meeting Jezza and then promising more votes in the Commons isn’t going to prove progress.

Also ... Sky and Yougov polls this week have both shown sufficient support for a No Deal Brexit that if it comes to it, the Tory party need not consider allowing it to be electoral suicide.
