It's basically extension, election and then who knows what! It's the brave who can predict what that might bring with regard to Brexit.
You seem to believe that an extension is inevitable, Andrew, but it is not. You are conveniently ignoring at least two other possibilities.

1. The EU may fail to grant an extension.

2. Boris's master plan could be to apply for Article 24 of GATT, by which we could apply a protection period of up to 10 years. If the EU is as desperate for a deal as they make out, there is no reason why they should not support this. It deals with the backstop until such time as we agree a trade agreement, as well.

It sounds as though Boris also has other measures up his sleeve, which he is not revealing right now for obvious reasons.
