Only if the deal passes?

Odds that the 3rd meaningful vote will pass (2.2 i.e. not favourite), yet delay is 1.17

Lay 1.17 is very tempting :)

No they haven't. That was typical gibberish from Donald Tusk by blackmailing the UK to accept TM's deal

Reports coming from France that Macron will oppose the extension - this makes the market 'No Deal Brexit' look interesting. You can still lay 'No' at 1.20 - that's looking tempting right now

It was actually the News Channels 'Breaking news' ticker tape I saw it on ahead of his speech but it was clearly wrong

But your right it does make the 'no deal' market tempting

The SNP are to table a motion to revoke article 50.

I wonder how many MP's will now support that motion ?

I can see this all ending in some kind of civil war.

I think the Army should surround parliament and not let any of them out until they sort this fouling mess out ASAP.

Why are we paying 650 x £70k plus for exactly ? If they were in a PLC they would have been escorted of the premises along time ago.

Fcuking muppets.

seems that there's a will for the people to re-express their thoughts on this topic. i do admire the politicians that can lie thro' their teeth and profess that despite thier own positions, they want to see the will of the people and the parliamentary process fulfilled. if this debacle has shown us anything, it's that *we* are just not qualified as individuals to comprehend the nuances of such a complex system. the circus continues!

Three words jimi. Dunning Kruger effect.

Politics has always just been a game of fixture lists and team news. Tusk 'winning' was as easy to predict as Brazil vs Huddersfield because Tusk is an absolute negotiating legend and has been for 20yrs.

Looking at just his recent form.
Tusk v Tspiriani - tko
Tusk v Varoufakis - tko
Tusk v Davis - tko
Tusk v Raab - tko

Only an idiot would think we could come back with silverware that parliament would be happy with. So now he's thrashed us 10-nil and we don't even have the stomach for time added on.

You might not like the team he plays for, but every sports fan has respect for a world class player. When EU11 vs UK11 came up on the fixture list there was only one result and only a complete newbie would think otherwise.

It was always going to be messy, but I'm surprised at the extent of infighting and skullduggery in parliament. It's odd to watch a party so intent on leaving on different terms they can't even agree to leave, then all the other parties voting to get the result they want on a political basis regardless of what's on offer. It's shameful.

Not sure why we are still negotiating.

The bond and debt markets are held in London. Without access, PLC’s, Pension funds and even countries will go POP overnight affecting more than 400 million plus people.

do you mean withhold, not let the legal owners do as they wish with their assets/money?

YES.

Why we are negotiating with 2 countries we have had the most wars with is beyond belief.
