I'm almost at the point of losing my patience with you!

Extending the WA would have shovelled ££ billions to the EU, which is exactly what THEY wanted. It would only have put off the day when they'd hit us with their next bit of nastiness.

Far better to have gotten out (it honours the Referendum) and then use the options available as a last resort if we can't overcome these teething problems.

Furthermore, had we extended the WA partly because of the Pandemic, might we not have been in the situation the Brussels is now battling?
