Oh dear :-)I think we've now reached "Brexit Status MAD" (in the cold war sense). (Mutually Assured Destruction) |

I think we've now reached "Brexit Status MAD" (in the cold war sense).Well timed post as this has just been said... Conservative MP Dominic Grieve says Theresa May is "zig-zagging all over the place, rather than acting in the national interest".An eU-boat is in the area. :-) Edit... even worse... No 10 says Pm is not going to the 1922 tonight - this will tick off quite a lot of backbenchers who want to hear what her real plan is - may be a move she regrets. |

Swedish PM Stefan Löfven says, during a consultation with the Riksdag's EU committee before the EU summit, that Sweden is ready to agree to an extension, even longer, if the British demand it. He says that the British request for extension must be properly motivated, but perceive that none of the 27 remaining EU countries absolutely oppose an extension. However, it is impossible to negotiate the exit agreement from the EU, according to Löfven. It lies as it is. |

Prime Minister to address the nation at 20:15 UTC tonight. Many are saying that if the next vote is rejected the next step will be a general election. Waste of time that will be. Edit: BBC chief political correspondent Vicki Young says it is her understanding that the prime minister's statement "is not going to be a moment where she calls a general election or resigns". Tory Brexiteer Mark Francois says he does not believe enough MPs will get behind Theresa May's deal if it is put to MPs again next week. Three different sources tell @nickeardleybbc and I that Jeremy Corbyn walked out of the meeting with that PM because Chuka Umunna of TiG was there.Just confirmation that the 650 benefit scroungers in Westminister don't give a t*** about the country but their own little world. |

What a load of codswallop! "We asked you, the public a question & you gave us your answer. An answer I'm determined to carry out" SO why the extension you dumb b*tch? Out means out. Have to agree with what an MP said earlier: "The most unpopular Prime Minister in British history" |

Exactly 1,000 days have passed since the British people voted in favor of leaving the EU. So when will the UK leave the EU? March 29? In three months? Nine maybe? Or in a couple of years? Nobody knows. But on the other hand, it has only gone 1,000 days since the referendum took place. So why hurry? |

So why hurry?Because a "democratic" vote was taken. If left to the "650 benefit scroungers" it will never happen. So what price democracy? Edit: Now, the clock has virtually run out and almost all is lost - exactly as the European elites were hoping.Sadly. I have to agree with him |

Have we left yet? No? Time for the men in grey suits, methinks. |

It was meant to be sarcastic. Apparently Britain already has got some new trade deals with a couple of countries. Norway and Iceland for instance. So it's not like Britain would "suffer" from leaving the EU now in 29 Mars. |

Apparently Britain already has got some new trade deals with a couple of countries. Norway and Iceland for instance.As of three days ago, Britain had replaced just 7 of the 40 trade deals it will lose by leaving the EU. All small ones: Pacific Islands (signed 14 March) Israel (18 February) Palestinian Authority (18 February) Switzerland (11 February) The Faroe Islands (1 February) Eastern and Southern Africa (31 January) Chile (30 January) No Norway or Iceland. From Brexit: What trade deals has the UK done so far? |

https://www.svt.se/nyheter/utrikes/norge-och-island-skriver-brexitavtal Britain agrees with Norway and Iceland on an agreement that secures the tariffs if it gets so that the UK crashes out of the EU. |

Or even https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/241584 I signed this morning at around #660,000 (and it took me several attempts to reach each page in the process). It's gone up by 300,000 since then, and will probably break through a million this afternoon, UK time. But I don't think anyone is listening. |

The EU has agreed to extend Britain's negotiating time for Brexit. But far from being so long as Prime Minister Theresa May wanted. Britain may get time until May 22 if May get the exit agreement granted by the Parliament. Otherwise, it is April 12. |

I am taking this to mean, the government did not have, and still really hasn't, any plans for a hard Brexit and feels it needs to keep it hidden from us. Sky News - Brexit: Hundreds of gagging orders taken out by government Sky News can reveal that the government has taken out hundreds of gagging orders as part of its preparations for a no-deal Brexit. The orders, formerly known as non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), are legally binding contracts to stop confidential conversations being talked about in public. |

Many voices have been saying that since 7 Feb 1992 with the voices getting louder since 13 Dec 2007. |
