I fear this final short Brexit week will play out like this...
1) Nothing much happens until Theresa May goes to the EU summit
2) TM comes back, saying "They refused to extend A50 until 30 June. I told them where they could stick their long extension".

3) MPs, collectively: "But that means we're crashing out in less than 48 hours!?"
4) TM: "Yes"
5) MPs: Unprintable unprintable. (And a few cheers and whoops from the ERG headbangers).
6) TM: "So we could crash out Friday night. Or we could always... revoke... Article 50."
4) TM: "Yes"
5) MPs: Unprintable unprintable. (And a few cheers and whoops from the ERG headbangers).
6) TM: "So we could crash out Friday night. Or we could always... revoke... Article 50."
7) MPs: White faces. Set expressions. A few cheers from the strong Remain types.
8) TM: "Or..."
9) MPs: "Yes?" Hopeful expressions, like a puppy spying a tin of dogfood
10) TM: Blows dust off a crumpled document. "Or there's always my deal."
11) MPs: "Yes! Give me some of that!"

And thus will MPs have been tricked and blackmailed into voting for Theresa May's terrible thrice-rejected frankendeal, out of (unfounded) fear of consequences of revoking Article 50, and a general inability to *do* anything at all. TM resigns, BJ comes in, we're doomed. The End.
