The Withdrawal Agreement Implementation Bill

If and when, and that's a big "if", May gets the MV 4 or whatever number she is up to now, through The Commons, the WA has to be turned into a bill.

The Bill has to be published in a White Paper, debated and voted through both Houses.

This is the domestic legal process.

A draft or White Paper has not yet been published.

If the European Elections are to be avoided by the Government, then all of the above would have to happen by May 22nd.

Otherwise the Elections have to take place.

The Conservative Party has no plans to fight the EU elections, no literature, nothing.

Before then, there is the local elections on Thursday, in which the party will be decimated by Europhiles and Brexiteers.

Meanwhile the party is broke, facing a slump in donations from business, mainly thanks to the Brexit policy and Johnson's "fuck business" attitude which, if not as explicit, is pretty much the same through the Cabinet and Government.

Meanwhile, the urgency for Brexit solutions is close to zero as Parliament returns from the Easter Break. And the Brexiteers like IDS push the alternate arrangements, which do not exist, and will not exist for a decade or more.

Nothing has changed, and the day of Brexit reckoning is getting closer.
