Indeed, but what can be more Brexit than the EU succumbing to the demands of our sovereign Parliament.

I blame the EU for many things, but I am happy to stand up for them when they are in the right, as they are in this case. They do actually want this deal to go through. Not for the first time, the block is the remainers in Parliament who just will not budge and are keeping this country in limbo.

It's hardly right to create an unwanted, arbitrary deadline that nobody will take seriously in any case. Parliament, and the country, needs a general election. A false deadline and no agreement only sees a further extension, a later election and a later conclusion to the whole debacle.
The EU get accused of forcing countries into second referendums until they get the result they want. In this case they can leave us to this farce all by themselves.
