I can't see it because I think the deal will get done.Well that is a possibility but I can't see it tbh Chip. The headache for them in Republic of Ireland wouldn't be worth it
Not sure my head can handle much more of this today...
This is one thing I've been thinking about.If you were the Eu why on Earth would you extend again. They have in good faith negotiated two deals and worked hard to get them done only for parliament to play party politics.
We are an embarrassment
Is he defending the Benn Act?
What????????With a border in the Irish sea, so worse than may
I can't see it because I think the deal will get done.
But I think Juncker's comment was not loose lipped and ill considered. The EU want this done and enough fucking about. All 27 members would need to agree an extension, and Juncker may well be aware that one - who frankly couldn't give a shit about Ireland - have said no, enough is enough.
Nope.What????????
Fucking dramatically better that May's shit unfettered backstop
We probably have enough political capital left to force France to agree one more extension if there's real hope of a deal along with Portugal, Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. That'll no doubt be it then though.I can't see it because I think the deal will get done.

Either i'm misreading this or you are.A lawful extension. The argument would be made that only that passed by the HOC is lawful and in the light of recent decisions it would win.

There has to ba a point the EU says weve done everything we can and if that's not enough were walking. Which plays straight into the hands of the far right fuckers dictating our negotiations.
I can't see any appetite from the EU27 to make life difficult for one of their fellow members.We probably have enough political capital left to force France to agree one more extension if there's real hope of a deal along with Portugal, Netherlands, Belgium and Germany.

What's Juncker going to do when he has to pay for all that free wine when he leaves the role?I can't see it because I think the deal will get done.

What do you mean by "a lawful extension"? And this commentary about something being passed the HoC???
The fact (I think) is that we are out on October 31st unless the EU grants an extension. And if they do not, then we are out, and it matters not WTF our HoC says. It's not within our gift to grant ourselves an extension. Our only option in this circumstance would be to revoke A50, and if we did not then we'd be out.
Thank you for the info.If it does, parliament can unilaterally revoke as well, rather than risking no-deal.
I mispoke, apologies, off on holidays from work and have had a few up at Tramore races. A lawful WA. Which could easily be argued to be one passed by a sovereign body (ie the HOC) although I'd bow to @Chris in London on this one.Either i'm misreading this or you are.

From MLex and other sources
‘EU official on Juncker’s no extension remark: “Bullshit.”’
But if it's phrased as a choice between making life difficult for France or making life difficult for Ireland? The aforementioned will stick with us along with Norway and Denmark, God knows where the rest go. The decision will be unanimous either way.I can't see any appetite from the EU27 to make life difficult for one of their fellow members.
It could bite them in the arse at a later date
