Here's a handy at-a-glance comparison of Theresa May's proposed Brexit deal, no deal, and staying in the EU (please let me know if I've made any mistakes). Oh, and please share and RT if you found it useful. Thanks.
And here's the same material as a PDF, so that you can print off the comparison of Theresa May's Brexit deal, no deal, and the no Brexit option of staying in the EU.

After you've absorbed the above, you're probably ready to have a proper grownup conversation about Brexit. So here goes...

Remember yesterday's "Bribes for Brexit" scandal, in which Theresa May tried to buy Labour votes for her deal in exchange for £1.6 billion in funding for poorer areas? Now they won't even publish which towns would get the money...
thetimes.co.uk/article/d0329b…
Presumably the "logic" is that, if the money isn't specifically seen in advance to be going to Area X, then the MP of Area X can vote for TM's frankendeal without nakedly being bribed. Rubbish logic, of course, like all things Brexit-related, but I imagine that's the sequence.
Oh, and just as a refresher: the same areas that would be getting the £1.6 billion currently benefit from over £10 billion in EU regional development funding. So it's not a generous ploy by our benevolent Government, but a massive punch in the face disguised as something else.

A 21-month Article 50 extension seems like it could maybe be on the cards.

PROS
- Puts paid to no-deal danger for a long time
- Allows for A50 revocation (which transition would not)
- Gives measure of stability to businesses (but see CONS below)
- Gives time for a People's Vote
- Gives time for a General Election
- Gives time for Brexit preparedness, including proper scrutiny of the necessary laws
- May allow criminal court cases against Leave to complete
- May enable EU to complete additional trade deals (and full benefits of Japan/Canada to kick in)
CONS
- Prolongs uncertainty (will we see variants of TM's deal again and again and again)
- Likely to bring a change of PM (if you think that's good, imagine a hard Brexiter in charge of negotiations!)
- May go beyond Speaker's term
- Doesn't actually resolve anything

If you're saying that Brexit is failing because the wrong negotiators are in charge, you *really* don't understand Brexit. That's like saying that a chocolate cake made of manure tastes bad because of the chef!

EU watching Westminster closely this week but not rushing to any
conclusions. Here is some of the key thinking in European capitals on
the main #Brexit issues of the day: /1
On Labour/second referendum: Corbyn seen in Europe as convinced
eurosceptic so EU is sceptical of his backing a second referendum. EU
has watched #Brexit turmoil long enough to see huge complications in
holding the vote and realise many leave voters have changed their
mind. /2
Of course EU would still rather UK stayed but Europe's leaders don't
see this as realistically on the cards right now. Most realistic,
considering turmoil in Westminster, says EU council President Tusk:
would be to extend article 50 leaving process. /3

Theresa May's machiavelic plans have to stop.

If she really believes her negotiations are that Strong and Stable, she should stop this embarrassing political circus and openly go for her No-Deal #Brexit plan, instead of sneakily engineering it.

We know that's your plan. 1/10
When she decided to put forward her support to #BradyAmendment, she knew it would be rejected by the EU negotiators.
It was even said yesterday before she decided to support it.
But it is a sneaky way to put forward a No-Deal #Brexit and later putting the blame on the EU. 2/10
The #Backstop was negotiated BY the UK to comply with UK's red lines:
✔ No hard border (#GoodFridayAgreement)
❌ No customs unions
❌ No single market
❌ No freedom of movement
The EU wanted a soft #Brexit. So no Backstop. 3/10

1/ If you don’t follow Brexit every day, here’s some advice. Let go of any illusions that this drama is about trade protocols, residency rights or the status of the Irish border. Brexit is the story of a proud former imperial power undergoing a mid-life crisis
2/ The rest of the world is left listening to Britain’s therapy session as they drone on about their ex-spouse, unable to see, admit or address their own flaws.
3/ The promise of Brexit was that it would make Britain feel big again. “Britain is special,” the Brexiteers assured British voters, who cast their ballots accordingly. But Brexit has proven that for the first time in modern history, Britain is small.

1) Brussels keeping stumm as regards a #brexit deal tonight
2) so what do we think we know? That a ‘mutual understanding’ has been reached on a technical level between EU and U.K. negotiators. This is not yet a deal
3) Earlier today European Commission Vice President Timmermans said progress has been made but negotiations are ongoing. This was backed up this eve by office of Irish FM and deputy PM
