At least it's now safe to book summer hols in Europe, some MPs have already got their priorities in order, seen leaving for the Easter recess with suitcases in hand, thus avoiding another Maybot ''let me be very clear'' speech in the HoC later...

[JohnL]

They've then got summer recess, conference season recess.

Tusk "Don't waste this extension"

May back to the EU on Halloween for another telling off.

We now need to get out of the EU NOW !! Deal or no deal.

If we dont Britain will spend ?100,000,000 on Europe elections before Brexit

to elect MEPs for a few months.

What a waste of money.

[malumbu]

Trivial amount compared to government and industry money spent for preparing for a no deal, and the further costs if we went for this. Or to put into further context a small percentage on what we will spend restoring the houses of Westminster. And lower than Ress Mogg's net worth.

Although if someone had to stump up for it it should be Dave. Although unlike RM that would bankrupt our ex-PM, Can't find info on TM, but much much smaller riches.

Bank of England stated that Brexit had cost ?40bn up to May last year, so double that at least.

That's ?80,000,000,000,000.

What a waste of money, Revoke A50 NOW!!...

Sigh...such a golden age. Britain booming, 240 pence to the pound, yards, feet, inches, fractions, pounds, ounces, gallons, pints, fluid ounces etc etc

None of this EU Monopoly money and metric nonsense

Who is stopping us from leaving Foxy? Have the news got it wrong and it?s the EU who has been coming to London asking for extensions? The uk could have left in March if it had really really really really wanted to - it?s got nothing to do with the EU that parliament has decided that it doesn?t want to leave without a deal.

It?s such a simple concept, yet I?ve come across well educated people who don?t get it: The EU has no say over whether, as current EU members, we stay or leave. We can leave without a deal whenever we want, and if The UK changes its mind it can choose to stay unilaterally. What?s so difficult to understand about that? Is it the word ?unilaterally?? Maybe people don?t understand what the unilateral concept means in this context.

(Please don?t say ?it?s the backstop?, because the backstop has nothing to do with the uk ability to unilaterally leave without a deal, or revoke and stay)

I swing both ways, can't beat a good old fashioned foot and inch, and have even been known to go the extra mile and exchange fluid ounces. But when I'm feeling really adventurous I like to dabble in grams and candelas.

Does that mean I'm bimetric, or should that be biimperial, or perhaps it's bimetricimperial, although a bit of a mouthful that last one, so to speak...

When I studied Physics we learnt it all in metric (SI units) even though it was 1987.

One day I picked up a book in the university library describing physics in Imperial units - just WOW - and I thought what I studied was complicated.

Sky's news is mileskilometers better than the BBC's, far more factual than the Beeb's perceived 'balance'. Will be interesting to see whether FI changes how he reports and tweets...

Hahhhaaah. Funniest thing all week. Sky? Factual? Ffs
