I learnt an interesting point about agriculture in temperate climates such as ours. There is a gap in April and May when the winter veg has been harvested and no new major crops are ready - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungry_gap

It is at this time that the UK imports most of its fresh food from other countries. Let's hope nothing around the start of April will hinder any food imports..

Popcorn time.

Interesting..

So, If Teresa May's deal is rejected. (which looks likely)

And the below is true

'Many of us have been clear that parliament will not allow a no-deal situation to unfold, and with less than 12 weeks to go until 29 March it is time for parliament to show our opposition to a no-deal exit'

Where does that put the country at apart from the inevitable impasse. I can only think that this goes back to my earlier comment about an extension to Article 50

However it's nice to know we can ignore all the forecasting and prediction models because you claim it's rubbish.

I claim it's rubbish too.

.A minister has said the UK may have to delay Brexit if MPs reject the deal agreed between Theresa May and the European Union.

Does the article go so far as to propose how that might happen?

Go back, read my post again, and this time put in the part you conveniently ignored

Actually I'll post the preceding part for you \However, since we're now speculating wildly'

You claim it's rubbish too? Try reading things properly it's enlightening

Probably via the clause in Article 50, which says it can be extended if the EU agree (which they would rather than have no deal)..

So you think they're maybe open to further negotiation then? Mrs May would welcome that . .

It’s exactly the type of constitutional crisis I’ve been describing for some time that allows the decision to go back to the people with the Conservatives blaming Labour and vice versa, so neither party has to take the fall for it.

If the 2nd ref comes back with a decisive result like 60-40 then jobs a good un. They can get back to the day job and tell the people it’s what they wanted.

The EU have quite clearly categorically stated that the deal offered is the only deal being offered. No changes merely clarifications on meanings.
