As Neil Gaiman once said: "Stories have power".

The narrative you seed may become the destiny you reap.

 

France pouring cold water on the extension request:

Facts....

She's not very clued up on Brexit is she.

 

So the EU [well, France] won't sign off on an extension unless they get confirmation it's for an election...

...but Labour et al are unlikely to go for an election unless they know there's an extension long enough in which to hold said election [and no chance of us bombing out no deal style during it].

 

C'mon 12 month extension..

Another 12 months without a residency permit application would be nice.

 

At best i think we're looking at the Jan 31st [2020] extension the Benn bill originally instructed Johnson to ask for... The French are angling for as short an extension as possible, hell the Oct 31st deadline was, in part, because the French didn't want an overly long extension last time.

 

Yeah, I'm not expecting much. But a 12 month one would be nice. For me, anyway.

 

Parliament has passed my deal, but i've had to put my deal on hold because we need an election as the awful remainer parliament that passed my deal won't pass my deal. --Boris

To be fair, Full Fact disputes the current narrative around that.

 

But this is 2019, and brexit... why let facts get in the way of a good 'pfft... yellow tories, gonna yellow tory' argument...

SNP/Lib-Dems - Ok then, Here's a bill that gets you a GE on the 9th of december...
Conservatories - Eww... No...
SNP/Libs - ...don't you want an election then?
Conservatories - *mumbles* we kind don't want an election, we just want you to talk about something other than boris' missed deadline...
Labour - ...is this a trap? What day is it today?


The EU/EC - Oh for the love of...

The year is 2049, the UK declares a new national holiday: Annual extension renewal Day.

 

It's all so commercial now... we've forgotten the true meaning of brexit extension day...
