And how are they going to get the remaining 27 countries in the EU to agree an extension.Originally posted by Old Greg View PostThe fiends!
The only things Parliament is capable of in this whole pantomime is
1. Agreeing and voting for May's original deal (The EU have already accepted and agreed this)
2. Rescind Article 50
3. leave with no deal
Everything else requires agreement with the EU.Comment

The scary part comes when we try to get anything Brexit orientated through the upper houseComment

No MP thinks A50 can be extended unilaterally.

If Article 50 is rescinded then the UK will continue paying billions to the EU. The question is what motivation would the EU have to turn this down ?
