There is no longer any provision for an extension of the transition period beyond December 2020. Section 33 of the EU (Withdrawal Agreement) Act says

A Minister of the Crown may not agree in the Joint Committee to an extension of the implementation period.

That'll be the Tories public position but it is parliament's job to pass legislation - can't they just pass another law which supersedes it?

yeah - I guess it's a good one for the papers:

Leaving EU on time ENSHRINED IN THE LAW

Anyone trying to Remoan will be BREAKING THE LAW

But really, as you say, they have the power to change the law over the course of an afternoon.
