EU offers short delay with strings. Ball now back in UK parliament’s court to agree the deal on offer or come up with a new plan.“I think God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.” ― Oscar Wilde
“And if there were a God, I think it very unlikely that He would have such an uneasy vanity as to be offended by those who doubt His existence” ― Bertrand Russell

PM will resign if her Brexit deal passes another vote, assuming the speaker allows it. In the meantime, MP’s are trying to reach a consensus.“I think God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.” ― Oscar Wilde

And now, all 8 options have failed to secure a majority. We need some Holy intervention.“I think God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.” ― Oscar Wilde

The situation remains very fluid:
Monday, 1 April: MPs hold another set of votes on Brexit options to see if they can agree on a way forward.
Wednesday, 3 April: Potentially another round of so-called "indicative votes".
Wednesday, 10 April: Emergency summit of EU leaders to consider any UK request for further extension.
Friday, 12 April: Brexit day, if UK does not seek/EU does not grant further delay.“I think God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.” ― Oscar Wilde

Vote leave found guilty of illegal overspending during referendum
Originally posted by articleVote Leave had been “outspent” by Remain and that it had "destroyed some of the evidential basis people are asking for" after deleting its data.
[...]
It comes after the Electoral Commission confirmed on Friday that Vote Leave had dropped its appeal against a £61,000 fine for electoral spending offences during the EU referendum.
Now, normally this would essentially make the whole thing void and they'd have to do it again, or at least start proceedings to do so. However they can't as it is an advisory referendum and thus government and Parliament can ignore it should they choose.
However they can't, as it is politically binding, if not actually binding by law. In other words, the muppets in charge assumed they'd win (both leave and remain were managed by the Tories) and so said they'd follow through with whatever the public voted for, forgetting that the public may decide to stick the middle finger up at the government for years of oppressive austerity measures.
So the government and parliament have to stick to an illegal advisory referendum and knowingly vote for something they know to be hugely damaging to the country- both politically and economically- otherwise they'd annoy a selection of the electorate who believed years of lies by a right wing press and the charlatans who lied to them throughout the campaign.
I'm so proud right now.

The deadlock continues;
The Speaker John Bercow picked four of the eight amendments put forward for debate:
■ Motion C: Committing the government to negotiating "a permanent and comprehensive UK-wide customs union with the EU" as part of any Brexit deal - proposed by Tory former chancellor Ken Clarke
■ Motion D: Referred to as Common Market 2.0, this option would mean joining the European Free Trade Association and European Economic Area - proposed by Tory MP Nick Boles
■ Motion E: This is for a confirmatory referendum, giving the public a vote to approve any Brexit deal passed by Parliament before it can be implemented - proposed by Labour MPs Peter Kyle and Phil Wilson
■ Motion G: The motion aims to prevent the UK leaving without a deal, including a vote on whether to revoke Article 50 - stopping Brexit - if the EU does not agree to an extension - proposed by the SNP's Joanna Cherry
He did not choose motions calling for a unilateral exit to the backstop, to leave on 12 April without a deal, to hold a referendum in the case of no-deal or to rejoin the European Free Trade Association.“I think God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.” ― Oscar Wilde
“And if there were a God, I think it very unlikely that He would have such an uneasy vanity as to be offended by those who doubt His existence” ― Bertrand Russell
