There would be “a review date pencilled in for June” - presumably as this would coincide with potential referendum result.. (guess on my part here)

This is good & bad news for remainers.
My take (& is only my take) is that EU want it sorted either way. Deal now or a mechanism to remain/Leave *properly* next summer.
Extension for 3 months over Christmas only ever made sense as a “technical” extension not a genuine one.

People have expressed scepticism EU would offer a 9+ month extension - it’s worth remembering there’s 2 types of extension
1 Technical - we know what we want we just need some extra weeks to carry it out
2 Decisional - we don’t know where we are
Where’s UK if (no)deal rejected?

A lot of people have rushed to conclusions on this thread. Important to distinguish between “technical” & “decisional” extension.
If UK accepts the 1st as a proviso to leaving - then UK will have no time for Referendum.
If you want to stop Brexit you need to go for 2nd option.
