Crisis, what crisis?

So, after a quiet weekend in Brexit world, despite there being now 12 days until Brexit, Monday exploded.

The Government was in deep discussions with the DUP about how much cash could sway the Unionist party to back MV3.

If the DUP back it, and the numbers added up to the WA passing, then MV 3 would be allowed probably on Wednesday. If not May would ask the EU for a long, 9 months or more, extension to A50.

And then it was announced that the Speaker was going to make a speech at half three.

A roumour had been circulating by some I follow on Twitter that the Government could not just keep presenting the same motion to The House for voting on, in fact some even wrote whether this was the constitutional law or not.

But The speaker said that the Government could not present the WA for MV if it was, in effect, the same as the two prvious times when it was defeated by the biggest margin in history and the third largest.

There would have to be changes.

How much change?

Substantial was the answer.

Thing is, to be in accordance with UK law, the WA has to be voted on, and passed by Parliament, and now cannot. Unless there are substantial changes. The reason is there was a president, from 1604 no less, that forbade it.

So, 12 days to Brexit, the DUP won't back the WA, and if they did the Government couldn't get it ratified to be in accordance to the very laws it passed.

You really could not make this up.

And the Brexiteers claim to have had a plan.

Well.

The choice now seems to be no deal or no Brexit, or ask the EU for a substantial extension, or annul Parliament and begin a new session.

Meanwhile, the world looks on and laughs, but not in a humourous way, in disbelief.
