Labour to support anti no deal amendment

The WA keeps the U.K. in the Customs Union for the transition period. During transition, if the U.K. comes up with some magical unicorns to get out of the CU but keep the NI border seamless then we’ll be out of the CU, but that’s part of the future relationship.

27 member states are not going to unanimously agree to extend the date unless there is a major change in position.

26 might, but Ireland certainly won't, and it only takes one to kill the extension idea stone dead.

Yes but even if the UK crashes out, it doesn't mean that is permanent, Labour could easily fix a deal within weeks. I doubt very much the EU is going to let the UK crash out just to make a point before a GE. They'd await the outcome.

I admire (but sadly don't share) your optimism. The EU will tear Corbyn so many new arses he won't know which one to speak out of.

It’s not often we agree, but I share your lack of optimism on this one.

There’s only one person I can think of that would be worse than May at negotiating with the EU, and although his initials are JC he’s not the saviour....

(Edit: okay, there are several that would be worse, including any of our Brexit Secretaries and nearly all of the government and opposition benches, but you get the point...)

That deserves a group
