This was noted that in event of a no-deal exit, the EU will have three pre-conditions before starting trade talk:

When we arrive in the fabled uplands, they may not be sunlit after all?

The most surprising thing about this for me was discovering that Buzzfeed does something other than listicles.

It isn't surprising that the EU's agenda post-No Deal would be to try to reconstruct as much of the WA as possible. That's fair enough and suits us also. There are things in the WA that are desirable for the UK.

What I think this most usefully highlights is the extent to which the final mode of our departure may be determined not by gutless British parliamentarians who won't enact the will of their constituents, but by 27 foreign heads of Government who have grown thoroughly sick of same.

So the question is, will they grant a further extension, or will they cash in? Will they allow us to remain as a festering sore in EU affairs for another 2-3 years or will they decide enough is enough and insist that 12 April is No Deal Day?
