• Question: John Bercow said he wouldn't allow the same deal on the table for the third time, but that is what EU wants next week?

  • It’s been substantially changed.

    The extensions have been added.

    Bercow may still decide that’s not enough change but he’s had his moment, a shot across the boughs so to speak. TM has been warned to stop trying to strong arm parliament, a lesson she has clearly not learnt given her we the people vs them the democratically elected representatives speech the other day.

  • Thanks a lot.

    I'm pretty sure the extensions will be enough. He said something along the lines of if you bring it back with an actual change I'll let it pass but not if it's exactly the same.

    But the numbers still don't add up unless MPs lose their nerve.

  • It’s been substantially changed.

    Interestingly, chatting to a lawyer on whether or not there could be an extension without an Act of Parliament, there is a good argument against requiring one as it's not substantially changed. The logic being nothing is fundamentally altered - just the arbitrary day that has been chosen. A very long extension, would probably be different however.
