The EU is unlikely to agree to any extension unless the other 27 heads of government can see a purpose to it.
The way in which the extension motion was worded was designed to force the Commons to acknowledge that the EU may refuse to go along with it in the absence of a credible plan, and that the most credible plan is a short extension to allow the withdrawal agreement to be ratified and brought into effect.
Expect that to be rammed home when May kicks off Meaningful Vote 3 next week.
