It's a shame he beat his brother David for the leadership of the Labour Party. David was much more electable, and maybe he could have beaten David Cameron, and then there would have never been a Brexit vote at all.
Little events can make big ripples down the line.
Nonsense.
David Miliband is even more of a sanctimonious prick than his brother.
Macron said on TV today that if May can't get a vote on the deal, then there will be no extension. But that isn't binding. How he votes is. It's noteworthy that he said it in English. Lest it gets back to the French.
The SKY reporter seems to think that if it gets down to the wire, the EU might still grant an extension because they don't want No Deal either.

Um, French don't understand English? They don't have bi-lingual reporters or translators?

I never thought I'd see the day when none other than the Cheese-Eating Surrender Monkeys might ride to the rescue of Perfidious Albion, overcoming the UK's own wobbly politicians and helping to free them from the tyrannical clutches of the European Union.
(Is that enough name-calling for one paragraph? )
If Macron actually pulls this off . . . Vive la France! Vive la France!

Macron will bark, but if Merkel yanks his chain, he'll do as he's told.

I agree with both of you guys. This is the posturing and jaw-jaw stage. It will be a bit of a surprise if there is not at least one more surprise turn of events in this episode before it is done. Also, these sorts of negotiations tend to come down to the very last few days as a matter of course. If that is not the case here, then that will be noteworthy much moreso than if they come up with a new, last minute deal.
But all that being said, right now at this moment, all indications are pointing to a no-deal Brexit on March 29, 2019. For what that is worth.

What about Orban? It seems to me, from what little I know, that he wouldn't mind sticking it to the EU. Indeed, I imagine Hungary being the next country to head for the exits.

Yeah, you never know. Those East Europeans sure can be ornery........
I just heard on BBC news Macron said either Parliament vote for Theresa's deal next week, or the UK is out without a deal.
I couldn't hear any more because Judy changed the channel to watch 'Frasier'........
Just say the word Brexit, and she tunes out. No sense of history at all.

Today was a big dog & pony show in Brussels. Nothing else. Neither side has absolutely committed to anything. And now that chauffeured rides in brand new Mercedes-Benz 560s to the big pretty building are over, it's nothing more than a big game of chicken for both the UK & EU.
IMO, there won't be a No Deal. The EU doesn't want it, and if May can't get the Parliament to line up behind her, then they will grant the extension at the 11th hour.
They are a bunch of spineless do nothings. None of them willing to take a stand on anything.
