Over the weekend, three Cabinet Ministers (Google who they were, could have been replaced by now, frankly) suggested that A50 should be extended if Parliament did not ratify her WA this week.
We know how that worked out, May just pulled the vote.
So, Westminster has to decide if it going to accept that and carry on regardless. Or do something decisive.
I'm not holding my breath here, mind.
No deal Brexit will be bad. Bad as in early 80s, Thatcherism bad. And there will be no respite from it. Industries will shrivel and die, exports will be so expensive that only things like whisky will survive, and the political class will turn on each other like never before. Which isn't a bad thing, but outside the bubble the country will slide into chaos and poverty.
Tax revenues will slump, public spending will be slashed, and even pensions will have to be cut, which will shot the blue rinse brigade who voted for this omnishambles that not even they can escape.
It is rumoured that May will try to extend A50 by two months to the end of May. That is not long enough. At least a year is needed, probably 5, the EU is preparing for a two year delay.
Whilst the headbangers push for a harder and quicker Brexit, because their fear is that if it doesn't happen next month, it might never happen.
Like that's a bad thing....
