We learnt yesterday once again why the EU is such a formidable negotiator - despite all their so called splits they came out with a position that put all the pressure straight back on the UK, carefully ensuring they wouldn't be blamed for no-deal
Not only that, but the EU were clearly aware of the PM's tactics of delay to the last minuter and elegantly dismantled them - to get an extension to May the deal must be voted for next week, otherwise come up with another plan by April 11.
And recall once again that those of us with Brussels connections - as ever the likes of @pmdfoster and @GeorginaEWright - always said an extension would be available. But the current UK Government has rarely seemed to want to understand the EU.
Also I'm afraid that this rather exemplifies too much of the mood in Government and media right now - glorying in not being in the room and not wanting to understand - which is stunningly short-sighted because we'll need deals whatever happens
