Presumably he's just laying out the options. Pass a brexit deal next week and you get a short extension, because if you don't, then it's either a long extension or a no-deal brexit.

I don’t see any offer of a long extension from him. The suggestion of a short extension doesn’t look like an inclusive set of options, but an exclusive one. In other words: it’s the deal we offered you or no deal.
 
I expect the speaker has now really gone beyond the pale and we will see him arrested and detained, he's said the house can sit on Saturday and Sunday!

Nobody asked them for a longer deal though. A short extension is all that was requested.

Bribing MPs with the country's money. (That we were told didn't exist)

It doesn't exist for trivial fripperies like paying Nurse's a decent salary, money will be found for vital projects like maintaining May's death grip on the key to number 10.
 
There might be light collateral damage and some good may be thrown out with the bad, but not a one of these MPs should be re-elected. Not one. Clear the ******* house and have a new lot.
 
Allegedly Corbyn walked out of the opposition leaders' meeting with the PM, as the Independent Group was represented, and he doesn't consider them to be part of the opposition.
 
I stand corrected, it was due to them not being a proper party and according to a Labour spokesperson, it wasn't what had been agreed upon before the meeting started.

May is due to give a statement to the nation in half an hours time, should be fun.

To keep it in the spirit of Parliament it would be sans serif ... but with all those little squiggles and tails on the ends of the letters.

You mean a serif font?
Serifs and terminators are the preferred terms.

Whoosh.

(I didn't think that post was so obscure as to need a sarcasm smiley, but I can see I was wrong.)

As usual on this forum, you are blaming members of the British parliament, or Theresa May. But much of the current trouble and worries is caused by the (much disliked by the DUP) Irish backstop, imposed by the European Union, which is an attempt to break up and humiliate, and also perhaps "punish" the UK for wanting to exit the Union, and which has always been found unacceptable by the House of Commons (another part of the trouble has also been caused by the people who voted "Leave" in the 2016 referendum, without perhaps realizing all the consequences).

The EU did, however, make recently some concessions on the backstop. This was not overlooked, and probably led to an improvement in the last "meaningful vote" on the withdrawal deal in the Commons: 391 votes against on March 12 versus 432 votes against on January 15. If the EU decided to drop the backstop (or to soften it significantly), I presume Bercow would agree to a third meaningful vote, and many of the current problems would be suddenly solved. It is in the interest of the EU, if it wants to have a long life itself, to be respectful to all its members, past and present (for example, Hungary). The world will not forget those who have been dumb and arrogant.
 
I'm absolutely baffled. May is going for the 'Are you really, really, REALLY sure you won't back my deal?' route, despite the Commons having rejected it twice already.

And I thought I was hard of hearing, evidently May must have it even worse than me!

Yes. Because as usual they're the ones causing the problems with their usual mix of stupidity, veniality, greed sense of entitlement and utter incompetence
 
Am I the only one thinking that she asked for a very narrowly windowed extension knowing full well it would be rejected. Now she can claim "I asked for an extension."

You mean 'proposed by the UK'?
