There was a deal on offer that was rejected 3 times, and I would suspect that any deal brought before the house would be rejected, as they don’t want to leave. Unfortunately no deal is the only form of Brexit that will happen, if it happens at all.
It's not remainer speak for stopping Brexit. It's about leaving the EU on our terms, when it suits us, and not arbitrarily leaving the EU without a deal when we are ill prepared to do so.

One option would be to change the arithmetic in Parliament, another to negotiate another deal. All of which would allow more time to prepare for no deal.

I don't think it is 'extremist' to take the view that the NI backstop was unacceptable.
It was the extremists who voted against it - the DUP and the ERG. The moderates in the Conservative Party were happy with it.

That's a statement of fact.
