Looks like the conditions for the EU granting the extension are that we don't be difficult, accept the Withdrawal Agreement won't be reopened and that we don't start the next round of talks other than that which involve the Political Declaration. Whilst Tusk wants a year delay it seems Macron will insist it's the end of the year.

It's a precedent with few occasions to occur against especially if a future government gets rid of the Fixed Terms Parliament act. After all in any other situation this government would have fallen by now and it's only the Brexit deadline which is holding everything together. A Parliamentary majority operating against the Government is essentially Parliament having no confidence in that government after all.
