Seems to me like someone knows something and the deal is close.

As in the no deal deal has been done?

I've never understood how a no deal isn't a deal because surely when we leave that's the deal, we tell them we're leaving and they aren't getting any money; deal with it EU

No deal isn't a deal because it means leaving without a deal (withdrawal agreement). Kind of does what is says on the tin.

The EU will have a claim for the £39bn as this is a payment of previous agreements/commitments, not as a down payment for a withdrawal agreement or future trading agreement. Moreover, if the UK did refuse to pay the £39bn that's hardly going to be conducive to negotiating future trade deals whether with the EU or others. Common basic error spouted by Brexiteers.

There does seem to be a degree of convergence. The threat of a postponement of the A50 deadline is concentrating the minds of the harder-line Brexiteers.

Why would they not be getting any money, given that it represents commitments we have already made. Are you suggesting the UK harms its international standing by defaulting on payments?

Indeed. I've been saying for some time that the threat of no Brexit or a delay to Brexit will bring the likes of Rees Mogg and his mob around to supporting a tweaked May deal.

But you see..

We signed a deal, article 50, the deal is we're leaving on March 29th, that's the deal.

Now we may leave with some additional agreements but the deal we've signed is we're leaving on March 29th

I would say if the worst case happens and we stay in the EU with all the same terms then that equals a no deal, because a deal on us leaving wasn't agreed.

I don't think she'll have to tweak it that much. The ERG are seeing their hard Brexit slip away and at least May's deal has an end to FOM for them.

From the other side, the campaign for a second referendum seems to be dying a death with the main protagonists, Umunna and Woolaston admitting that they don't have the numbers and holding a press conference virtually begging Corbyn to support them.

I think that is why May is being single (bloody) minded in her pursuit of getting her deal through. She knows that it's a compromise that both leavers and remainers can take something from.

The Cooper amendment actually helps the PM, by shortening the deadline to gain some sort of Brexit (i.e. May's deal), before A50 can be tampered with.

The thing which gets me about much of this is the the Withdrawal Agreement is only a two-year transition period during which the actual deal is negotiated. It is not the final situation long term..

I honesty think that had the ERG been offered May's deal at the outset the'd have jumped at it.

Still right down at the bottom end, and expecting to lose some of the gains made in January if the risk of no deal rises. So I wouldn't get too excited.

No, the worst case is us re-joining the EU without any of the special exemptions (inc. the Euro) and rebates we have enjoyed up to now.

Article 50 is not a deal. It's a unilateral declaration of intention to leave the EU. The withdrawal agreement is to tidy up the loose ends which are involved in that separation and to prepare the ground for negotiations upon a trade deal with our biggest economic partner.
