Several recent off-topic replies removed. If it's nothing to do with Brexit, keep it out of this thread.

Also, members should not be bringing and discussing what is in other peoples signatures, in to the topic.

She won't step down until she delivers Brexit. On that, there is agreement within the party.

I wonder if May and Corbyn are basically creating a bit of theatre so that the EU grant us the extension to the end of the year amidst the fear they might not....

The commons leader Andrea Leadsom.

Quote:

The Commons Leader, Andrea Leadsom, has confirmed the government is expected to bring forward a motion to extend the Brexit process. Making a business statement to MPs, she has said:

Quote:

In the event the European Union (Withdrawal) (No 5) Bill receives royal assent today, the House may be expected to approve a motion relating to section one of the Bill – to seek an extension of the period specified in Article 50 (3) of the Treaty on European Union.

If they keep on digging that hole, we'll be in the EU and Australia by this time next year

It's getting more extensions than the retirement age

Does that mean there'll be no Brexit as I'm convinced there will be no retirement age by the time I get there.

By the time it happens I’ll probably be a Brexiter

She’ll be here forever then.

Letwin-Cooper Bill off for Royal Assent this evening. Leadsom says Government is allowing for a debate on an extension date tomorrow.

MPs race new law through parliament forcing Theresa May to delay Brexit again
The legislation has gone through the Commons and Lords, and now needs Royal Assent from the Queen to become law.

Just happened. We now have a European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2019.

Which is a pointless law one has to say. The PM has already asked for an Extension, only takes one of the 27 to veto and we could still leave on April 12th with no deal.

How very dare they exercise their sovereign rights, the bare-faced cheek!

But I'm pretty sure the EU will agree to an extension, neither side wins in the case of no-deal.

What it demonstrates is that another commonly held belief prior to March 29th isn’t true. That Parliament would be too slow and we could fall into “no deal” if Government sat back and allowed it. Primary legislation enabled in just three sitting days.

Parliament has forced May’s hand. It can, and almost undoubtedly will, do so again if she continues to come up with inadequate solutions. It raises the prospect of either a second referendum or general election to break the deadlock.

Wrong as per usual. We could have left on March 29th. It was May who chose not to. But she had it within her power to leave, so this notion Parliament was fast to act, they only got the time to act via an extension.

That said. The bill is still as I say, utterly pointless.
