April fool!

[Mister Rog]

Fell for it

Damn! I thought for a moment that she'd finally seen sense.

[Varche]

Ha ha

Why did I open this thread 😁 well done.

[Rods2]

Read over 100 times & 4 people admitted to being caught out, I bet the other 96 couldn't hit their browser back button fast enough.

[Doctor Gollum]

You jest, but it is looking like the net result

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

Doubt it. They will now be pushing for a long extension. That's code for cancelling Brexit.

[Varche]

Doubt it. Barnier just speaking live now saying there are significant risks for EU in a long extension.

[Sir Tigger KC]

I'm starting to hope that we do have a long extension and take part in the Euro elections, just to see how bad it is for the main parties.

Our destiny is MV4 finally gets through........

It's Brexit Jim but not as we know it.

I'm starting to hope that we do have a long extension and take part in the Euro elections, just to see how bad it is for the main parties. 

Yep, and then there'll be lots more Youtube videos of brexiter MEPs slagging off the EU in Brussels while they just sit there and smirk.

What a time to be alive!

May 2nd local elections will be a trial run. For the first time in a local election it will be any candidate that is not a Conservative that will get my vote. The Conservative & Labour parties are both over as major parties & I'm not sure that either realise that yet?

[Doctor Gollum]

Oh, they will

My guess is this...

Now till Tuesday : Parliament has till next Tuesday to agree an exit deal, any deal, that is acceptable to HMG and the EU.

Wednesday : The EU meet and decide whether to grant an extension based on the deal that Parliament have agreed. If it can be implemented before the new batch of MEP's take their seats in June (because it's a variation of Mays deal), then an extension till then will be granted and we won't have to hold Euro Elections. If it can't be done in time (because it's Canada, Norway, Customs Union etc), then a Long extension (at least 6 months) and we would have to hold Euro Elections.

Thursday : Parliament votes to accept or refuse the EU's decision. If they refuse only two options remain. Unilateral revocation of Art50, or No Deal Brexit. Corbyn tables a vote of no confidence motion. 

Friday : Parliament doesn't normally sit on a Friday, but I'm betting it does next week :-) Parliament votes on revoking Art50. And the vote of no confidence.

What I don't know is how much warning the EU need on revocation. Can it be done at 22:59 on Friday? Can Parliament actually order HMG to do something it doesn't want to do without passing a proper bill/law first (as opposed to a meaningful or indicative vote)?
