If we leave with no deal this year, we start negotiations in 2022 from a position of weakness and also with no EU goodwill. You've clearly forgotten that Brexit doesn't end with no deal! That actually elongates the process as there will be lots of squabbling and a succession of smaller deals. You let the genie out of the bag in 2016 and it ain't going away. Negotiations with the EU are no part of British life for the forseeable future.
Sorry, Andrew, it's you who has missed the point. It's not the government fumbling, it is its officers. And I did make the point that extending the deadline for a deal will make no difference to the EU's attitude. They will continue to be difficult until the bitter end.

All you can see is this big monster EU presence and poor little Britain cowering in the corner. You may be in for a surprise.
