But the political dimensions is very important. Any extension would unnecessarily shuffle even more dosh the way of the EU, on their terms and would strengthen the EU's negotiating position. That's enough ground for not extending. Indeed, going to the wire is a basic principle for this type of negotiation.

Are you implying you believe the EU will 'fold' at the last minute? If so why, and what makes you think the UK wont blink first? At the end of the day there are plenty of other (none British) fish in the sea and if the EU stop buying our fish is Borris going to suggest that the government should 'let us eat fish' (in his best Marie-Antoinette voice)?
