So possibly we get an extension, Johnson resigns, we have a general election and the saga continues; or we get chucked out of the EU with bad feeling on both sides and suffer a great deal of economic pain as a consequence.


So yeah we're ejecting with no deal because Johnson's not actually going to extend.


I think Johnson resigning is the more likely outcome. As DI says, he has boxed himself in.

@BorisJohnson, what’s at stake is not winning some stupid blame game. At stake is the future of Europe and the UK as well as the security and interests of our people. You don’t want a deal, you don’t want an extension, you don’t want to revoke, quo vadis?


So we're into Tusk calling Boris' bluff?
