Westminstenders: Flextension

[RedToothBrush]

Just wrote an intro and wiped it. So this is as quick as I can sum up.

EU response is extension to 22nd May if May passes her deal by 29th March

Or an unconditional extension to 12 April which could be extended with a plan and understanding to take part in EU elections.

This isn't what may wanted. It gives her less time and leverage

It opens up the possibility of her being ousted as PM in the next couple of days. Graham Brady asked her to quit on Monday. Remain Cabinet ministers are threatening to quit if May whips a vote to support no deal.

The talk is May has indeed flipped to supporting no deal with many think she's pretty much gone full on Colonel Kurtz.

The EU are in effect supporting parliamentary sovereignty and are being incredibly reasonable.

May now has to decide whether to accept.

The whole situation looks explosive and likely that one half of the cabinet or the other are on the brink of walking. And May's power is so shattered.

However she remains the gatekeeper and as it stands if she's hell bent on no deal, it will be extremely difficult for Parliament to prevent that.

X post!

I heard something on the way home on R4 tonight about problems with trains into Kings Cross, not sure if it is engineering works over running , but hope this does not delay anyone travelling by train for tomorrows march.

Brexit, a Haiku.

(I detect the influence of Baldrick’s war poem).

Love it!

Amazing, ta!

I really should try to sleep but I'm too wound up about tomorrow.

It is really good to be able to do something.

Waterloo has had huge problems all day but it should sort overnight

Sky news app:- breaking Mueller has handed his Russia collusion report

Hope everyone marching has a great day tomorrow and that TM listens for once. The MPs will hopefully listen even if she doesn't. Wish I could be there.

Thanks,
Just been looking at the list. Brits get everywhere it seems!

Djibouti
Lesotho
Eritrea
Only 1 each so far but they have joined in.

Good luck and have fun to all of you marching tomorrow.

Anyone marching tomorrow, wave a flag for me, I’m working all weekend.

So Revoke is on the table as a possible option? !
Yay for the petition. 3.7 million last time I looked

Micheal Heseltine on a march against Tory Brexit!

My mum wants to know why all the stuff I tell her (courtesy of here and a general google) isn't being reported on the news. She's not sure if leaving would be such a bad thing. I asked her to name one positive thing about leaving. She couldn't answer beyond erm, ah, erm, well what they said. I swiftly reminded her of all the negative things that have already happened because of brexit and the negative things likely to happen if there's no deal. Oh. Yes. Well you obviously understand it much better than I do silktie. I'm hoping her temporary lapse was a senior moment brought on by the chest infection she's currently nursing.

and lots of to all who are marching tomorrow. I can't march (bastarding ms) so please make lots of noise on my behalf. And thanks to RTB and all the regulars on here who keep me informed and sane (well, almost )

DH and I signed petition from US, it was perfectly legal, we are uk citizens with valid email. We had to give our country and postcode.

.

Oh look...interesting! Maybe he submitted the report and is hiding in UK :D

Tomorrow's weather

Going down to 8 degrees Celsius at 9 pm

Watch the news, look for our red tooth brushes and try to match names to faces

First off, I know it matters, but Sky News Ocean thingy can just fuck right off for now - irrelevant to me at the moment, I'd quite like to get domestic/EU issues sorted!

Second off, much love, pride, good wished and all that stuff to those of you marching tomorrow. I wish I could be there, but DH not well enough to be left, so I will be with you all in spirit and looking out for the red toothbrushes!

Delurking.

Thank you so much for these threads they have been my “go to” since June 2016. You guys are more informative that the national press :)

I signed the petition from the EU country as I am a British Citizen. British colleagues and friends are circulating it here on FB and by email.

I so wish I could be there tomorrow - please march for us all who can’t make it but whose lives have been turned upside down since 2016 as we wait in limbo.

You are all warriors on this thread - thank you.

Thanks for the explanation BCF. If it requires an SI and they have to be brought by the government then labour cannot go for a no confidence vote so JC has to stop being such a dickhead and finally back a PV.
