Of course there's little harm in an extension whereby a worthwhile gain for the UK is offered, but I fear the EU is too far up itself do to that.

Finally, I suspect that Boris & co have reasoned that a no-deal outcome is a workable outcome for the UK, preserving its sovereignty and if that's going to be the case, sooner rather than dragging it on to later with all the noise that will bring. Leave properly and get on with the reshape.
Yes, it really is. There is little point in having a slanging match with the EU. They either want a tariff free trade deal with the UK or they don't. The choice is theirs to make.
