So the EU have slightly scuppered TM in my view.
She doesn't need any help with that.
I'm glad the grown ups took control. Let's hope any remaining grown ups in Parliament step up to the mark next week.

I'm still not clear on what parliament can do if TM decides she'd prefer no deal over long extension.
The default remains no deal, and up until recently I still thought TM would blink at that reality, but now I'm not so sure.
How do MPs force the long extension if the government doesn't want to entertain the idea? How do MPs ensure a vote is binding?

Got it. The mad thing is that the 12th April thing is the EUs plan for us! Wasn't TMs ask at all. Hello sovereignty!
So the EU have slightly scuppered TM in my view. By saying - if you lose the vote, don't worry, we'll still give you a couple of weeks to decide what to do. No deal on the 12th April, or get involved in the elections and go down the GE/PV route.
Gives more time for parliament to gets it act together, hopefully with the deal removed from the table that will be easier.
