Very positive. If May deal defeated, we can extend to April 12 - MPs then have a chance to come up with a plan, propose it, and get a longer extension, as long as we take part in European elections.
This is as good a result as we could possibly have asked for and, honestly, EU being more patient then you'd expect.
If MPs can now take control under a form of the Benn amendment next week, there is still a way out of this godforsaken mess.
It's funny. We all thought the march this weekend was timed too late. In actual fact it's happening at the best possible moment.

A million people. You can ignore that if you like. You can pretend it didn't happen, or doesn't mean anything, or has no consequence. But when there's that many people hitting the streets, something fundamental is happening.
You don't always know the impact immediately. It can take a while to filter through. It certainly doesn't mean we'll win the fight to Remain. But it shows that a massive constituency in this country are not putting up with this shit anymore.
Brexit or no Brexit, they will remember what is happening right now. And they will punish anyone who helps deliver a disastrous outcome.

Labour tabled an amendment for indicative votes next week. This section is interesting. Has anyone from the party actually been able to explain what the difference is between its alternate plan and 'Common Market 2.0'?
And no, I'm not happy about Common Market 2.0 either.
It's a fucking silly name. You can pretty much dismiss anything titled with that .0 thingy.

Brexit: Suddenly, we kinda know what's going on politics.co.uk/blogs/2019/03/…
We have a timetable. And we have a pathway towards change. Now we just parliament to grab it.
Personally I'm feeling relatively chipper. I mean, each week swings between terrible fucking lows of horror and sudden bursts of optimism. But still. Good stuff.

I’ve been thinking about it more and more for months and... I think it’s becoming time for me to set up a GoFundMe for bottom surgery. That’s the #1 thing that caused me to realize I need to transition over two years ago, and the one thing I’ve seen almost zero progress on.
I’m really scared of the prospect of asking for so much help, and there’s so much more to talk about regarding that than I can fit here right now. But when I think back on the past two years and all the effort I’ve made for this, I finally feel I’ve done all I can short of this.
I’m sitting here in bed recovering from wisdom teeth extraction - the first time I’ve ever been sedated, much less gone under the knife. The fear of that has held me back for so long, but now I’ve faced that small version of it and I’m more ready than ever.

NEW: @theresa_may is to request only 'short delay' to Brexit in letter to EU a government source has told @tamcohen. [thread]
news.sky.com/story/theresa-…
It’s understood her original preference was to ask EU for a short extension which could be lengthened if needed, or a long one with a break clause in it.
But @MichelBarnier told me yesterday that it’s short or long, not both.
.@MichelBarnier also made clear that a specific reason must be given to warrant an extension: “Needs to be linked to something new - a new event, new political process.“
So:
- election?
- 2nd referendum?
- new cross-party political declaration (removing May red lines)?

NEW Lidington: Government facilitate two week indicative vote process in April

...IF longer extension agreed, meaningful vote goes down, and UK takes part in European elections
European Elections will have to begin to be prepared in April.

Both trying to take wind out of sails of Benn amendment AND provide incentives for ERG to vote for deal...

Are the ERG frightened of European Elections though? I’d presume they presume they could do quite well...
.Number 10’s message to ERG & DUP:

Vote for current deal by next week and get Brexit agreed this month and enacted by June at latest

OR

Vote it down, and get indicative votes where Commons majority rules (ie Norway [Plus] perhaps referendum) a long extension, and EU elections

Exclusive:

Brexit will be delayed for up to two months under plans being considered by Theresa May to extend Article 50

No 10 officials have drawn up a series of options for PM ahead of crunch votes this week.

Extending A50 is among them

telegraph.co.uk/politics/2019/…
Under one option in No 10 paper being considered by PM she will extend A50 if a deal cannot be reached by March 12

It's a finely balanced decision.

Such a move would avert Commons defeat over Cooper/Boles, but trigger rage from Eurosceptics
PM is also considering another option in No 10 paper for a 'conditional' vote on AG's plans to ensure backstop is temporary

Reasoning two-fold - it would buy PM time for negotiations, and also give her negotiating capital with Brussels if it passes

Male omegas are rare. Rare, and highly sought after.

Jimin is a male omega who takes suppressants on the daily and hides his scent with blockers and beta oils.
It wasn’t until he joined Seoul University and met Min Yoongi did those precautions stop working.

1. We are pleased to see @CommonsEUexit adopting the EEA/Efta position and in the absence of an alternative it really is the only choice. We note that this enrages hardliners but we are still waiting on them to produce a viable real world alternative.
2. Mrs May has proposed a "deep and special relationship" whereby she seeks frictionless trade and many of the other advantages of EEA membership but seeks to avoid all of the responsibilities and obligations. That is an absolute non-starter that was never realistic.
3. Despite several senior officials in the EU stating categotically that free movement of goods etc cannot be fudged, May is still wedded to these ideas - and yet nobody who has examined the issue thinks it can work.
