May's opening gambit in her latest venture to beg the EU for more time:
"Look, you ********, we hold all the cards...……………"

According to projections from the poster-boy of ERG economics, Patrick Minford, 96% of the growth in global trade in the next 10 years will be from Fiji and the remaining 4% from the Faroes.

Evil woman who's going to take us out of the EU with *no deal* with resulting loss of life to some needing specific drugs and isotopes.
There will be a court case one day.

Finally a rational voice that provides the authoritative analysis on Brexit we've all been missing (although in fairness some of our own Brexiteers sound much like this):
The current deadlock over Brexit and possible delay to the UK's planned leaving date of 29 March suggests democracy in the UK is "all but dead", Donald Trump Jr has claimed.
Mr Trump Jr, who is the US president's son but holds no political position, wrote a column in the Daily Telegraph.
In it, he criticises PM Theresa May for having "ignored advice from my father".
Mr Trump Jr added that "the will of the people is likely to be ignored" because of "elite" politicians in Brussels.

She won't be asking for a long extension to avoid Loathsome and co throwing their toys out the pram.
Can see the EU saying, you can have a short technical extension if your deal passes, a long extension or get hubby to start shorting sterling...
I like many others only occasionally visit this thread as no views were ever changed but after two and a half years and with just nine days to go I was wondering are there any on here who have changed their views from a personal point of view I voted remain and would do so again if ever given the chance but I did reluctantly accept the result and for the past two years along with everyone else just wanted some certainty 9 days to go and we appear to be no further forward
Blaming everyone else. May says “she shares the public’s frustration with parliament failing to make a decision”.
Passing blame AND trying to align herself with the public in the same statement.
She is simply loathesome.

At the moment I would say this is most likely.
It would be bizzare though. A deal that is obviously bad and hands the EU massive leverage in future negotiations and that no one really wants, is probably what we are going to get.

Good and fair question. But if you were looking to find folk who have changed their minds, then this is probably not the best place to do so!

Education Minister just got asked on BBC Breakfast show what was his definition of a short Brexit delay. His reply: "Well, it's the opposite of long"

If it does happen, we will truly have the relationship with the EU that the liars said we had during the EU referendum campaign.
Cameron passed May a terrible hand, and May will pass some other deluded Tory an even worse hand.
It will be a good deal for the EU, if you are a citizen of the 27, a letter of thanks to Juncker and co wouldn't go a miss.

This reminds me of that football chairman who said “we have a shortlist, and there’s not many people on it”
Agree. He’s utterly pathetic as a party leader.
He's actually worse than 'pathetic'.
'Pathetic' suggests a zero sum effect - that his leadership adds nothing to the party, or the party's electoral hopes.
Corbyn at this stage is far, far worse for the party's numbers, than zero.
People who would surely, surely have walked away from the uncaring, unholy mess that is the Tory party by now, will continue to grudgingly pop their cross in the box for any 'pig with a blue rosette', for as long as the alternative is JC.

Someone in Labour needs to do something.
You look at Corbyn's twitter feed and you wonder if he's living in some kind of parallel universe. Not one mention of Brexit in the past few days...

The reason is he doesn't know what to say, which in turn says it all.
The EU seem to be getting completely and utterly fed up with it.
I wouldn’t be shocked if they told us to feck off.
