Speaking of which it was David Cameron who put the UK into this predicament, where is he now? Making good money in the corporate world it looks like. Maybe he should’ve stayed and helped clean up the mess he made.

Dithering British don’t deserve another Brexit extension, says France

France has warned the Commons that President Macron could veto another delay to Brexit because the demand for a new extension “would not solve the problem”.

MPs have seized control of Brexit by voting for legislation forbidding Boris Johnson to meet his “do or die” deadline for leaving the EU on October 31. The legislation requires the prime minister to ask for a new delay at an EU summit on October 17 by extending the Article 50 withdrawal process until February next year.

Amélie de Montchalin, the French European affairs minister and lead negotiator on Brexit, said the plan would be rejected if it simply continued the parliamentary deadlock and political chaos in Britain. “It’s not because a problem is complicated that by diluting it over time and delaying it for three months without changing anything, it will be resolved,” she said. “When I hear the British saying, ‘Give us three months more and we will solve the problem’, we can see that another six months would not solve the problem, nor another three months. They have to be able to tell us what they want.”

Stephen Barclay, the Brexit secretary, told MPs that Britain would continue preparing for a no-deal Brexit even if parliament passed legislation forcing Mr Johnson to seek a delay because any of the EU’s 27 leaders could veto the request. “The legal position on an extension is that it requires the support of every member state, including the United Kingdom,” he said. “So it is the case . . . we would need to continue to prepare for no deal because it is within the scope of any member state to block an extension.”

In a bad-tempered summit on the current extension last April, Mr Macron made it clear to other European leaders that he did not support delay if it extended the impasse in parliament. He said this risked “importing” Britain’s political crisis inside the EU.

Diplomatic sources said that a further extension would need to have a “credible purpose”, previously defined as a general election, second referendum or decision to seek a softer Brexit. “A delay for delay’s sake? No. If it’s to go round in circles, no,” said a diplomat. “If it flows from a new political situation, such as elections, we could study a delay. It would have to be agreed unanimously, but yes, I think it would be allowed.”

A senior diplomatic source poured cold water on the “untrue” claims of some MPs and Remain campaigners that the EU would automatically give another extension because of Westminster’s parliamentary legislation. The prospect of an election is now seen as the most likely next step, whether Britain goes to the polls before or after the present Brexit deadline. “Will an election solve anything?” asked a diplomat. “That’s our fear.”

For many European governments the default position is now no-deal preparations unless something happens to unblock British politics, either leading to a new government with the majority to negotiate a deal or reverse Brexit.

“Our working assumption is that Brexit should occur on October 31 as was demanded by the UK,” a European Commission spokesman said yesterday.......

And I think Macron is right. Unless there are some major developments in Westminster “no deal” is the only credible outcome.

Across the channel people are fed up with “the difficult” Brits...

Would be fun if BoJo gets his way with help from the EU🤣

Or at least you hope so...

Care to explain why?

He will be talked round by Merkel and the EU grandees.
