Reports I've read say Gove poised to take over, frying pan and fire spring to mind...

No deal really is the way forward to save face.

Who has any face left to save?

There looks also to be a counter argument that the acceptance of any extension needs to be valid in accordance with UK law, i.e. if MPs reject then no matter that the fact the EU has offered an extension, we're out. I personally prefer (from a legal certainty point) the latter position - that the MPs vote definitively to accept/decline - as it avoids the conflict of laws issue noted above. It would also avoid the odd and undesirable situation where in theory May could keep requesting extension and the EU giving them, without the consent of parliament - which you would think cannot be right.

Apparently a “Ms. D Abbott” whoever that is.

Turns out it was a whopping 250% overstated fib as everybody already guessed from previous made up numbers circulated by People’s Vote organisers for marches earlier in 2019 and last year.

I could've wanged on for hours about that. I didn't even get started on how user behaviour changes as your site slows down, hastening its failure (hitting refresh or clicking search over and over again) that load testing doesn't replicate thus giving you a false sense of security, or my dissertation on why, on our site, users who see 1 or 2 search errors convert better than those who see no errors, but only for popular searches.

Anyway, I promised to shut up

Simon wrote: Mon Mar 25, 2019 9:45 pm Yes, fair comment, but one of the indicative votes that May won't table will be a softer (Norwegian style) Brexit because she knows that any Brexit that's too soft will split the party, and for a party to split would need a decent number of people on one side of the divide.
