• But we won't face that fact unless/until we have too - look at the process so far.

    If the EU give us an extension we'll spend 99% of it fucking about again.

    That's another 6 months (or whatever) or uncertainty that achieves nothing.

    If the past few days have made nothing else clear its that clarity is only available to those in charge when the deadline looms large.

  • No of course not. All these comments about timelines, etc. are made within the context of a possible shift in position on Brexit/SM/CU or a shift in power if/when the DUP press the government into assuring SM/CU access that is UK-wide by either flexing their position as keystone to majority in Parliament for the Tories or as an accessory to enabling a vote in no confidence to carry.

    The timeline would inevitably suffer, but in the latter situation I think the EU would be sympathetic to a movement in UK politics which was not threatening to withdraw from the SM/CU.

    Best case; somebody just decides they're all being silly cunts and we get to stay in the EU and everyone can just go back to reading news about antisocial ladies putting cats in bins or whatever was newsworthy about 2 years ago.
