Last night, the EU27 unanimously rejected Theresa May’s request for a June Brexit extension and told her 22 May at the latest – or 12 April if she couldn’t pass her deal). This pushes the cliff edge back by just a little, and makes nothing easier for her.
If her deal doesn’t pass, she would have to choose a no deal, or a long extension and agree to hold European parliament elections.
But that’s assuming that she will still be in control of the process at that point.
