I think that by this time next week, that will no longer be possible.
May has to stop kicking the can, and start kicking. Because otherwise events will overtake her and she'll be in the front seat of a runaway Brexit with nobody willing or able to help her.
One is a creature with a nasty sting and no backbone.
The other is a marine creature.

What's the difference between a Non Executive Director and a supermarket trolley?
The trolley has a mind of its own.
If the Govt hasn't itself even decided what type of Brexit we want, what is currerntly being negotiated with the EU?
eg IF the Govt suddenly went for a Norway model, would they just say "Forget all discussions up to now, how about this?"
A crocodile.
What has forty legs and four teeth?
The Politburo. (Maybe these days the Shadow Cabinet, but I dunno, Corbyn's dentures look pretty good to me.)
I wonder.
Why, that would have been the equivalent of an elderly Marxist supporter of terrorism and racism with no intellect and no experience of work being elected leader of the Labour par...ah.
Yes, you're right. It is good to see!
1) The status of northern ireland and the border with the Republic
2) The status of EU nationals living in the UK and vice versa, as well as the jurisdiction of the ECJ to protect their rights.
3) The financial contribution for all EU agencies the UK has either committed to or intends to remain a member of.
4) A temporary trading and customs relationship that doesn't give UK companies an unfair advantage during the negotiation of a full deal.
Charitably, it could be argued that the government has sorted (3) and fudged (2).
(1) is nowhere close to resolved and (4) is probably impossible to get through Parliament

The worrying part being the reporter felt the need to make this point:
'Mammals, including us, can make babies only through sexual reproduction.'
You would have thought even someone as thick as a Republican voter would have grasped that bit (among others)!
The only comfort we have is that every single politician involved won't get a paper-round job in the future should Brexit fail.
May. Bet May. Vote May. Simples!
Right now she's working on the assumption the DUP aren't prepared bring down her government if she agrees to the backstop.
She is almost certainly hilariously mistaken.
Hope that sums it up
As it is, the fact he supports it shows even a failed two-bit wannabe dictator who is mostly roaring drunk can be right at times.
Proving Barnier right is scarcely less impressive.
Juncker and Barnier? Average.
And for the avoidance of doubt I am and always will be a practical conservative
A lot of conflicting reports around tonight, but I am still told by a senior Govt source that any deal with the EU is “still some way off”. The UK’s demand for a time limit on the customs union backstop is the major sticking point.
Juncker really is a scummy two-bit nobody who would be out of his depth running a sub post office. That requires a level of ability, integrity and sobriety he altogether lacks.
As for Barnier, he is a former French Minister of Agriculture. Nuff said.
They've gravely damaged the EU, possibly beyond repair, but they have neither the courage or honesty to admit it. And for that they will not be soon forgiven whatever their fawning acolytes at the Commission and the European Parliament say at present.
The trigger for the bloodbath was a permanent CU.
Not negotiating in good faith, springs to mind.
Just another theory
But then 1 really liked BJ.
The other though got BJ was ok - “he has bad judgement and no discipline but if you tell him not to do something he won’t do it. The problem is that he’s very good it find ways to get into trouble that no one has thought to tell him not to. It’s a bit like wrangling a toddler”
That’s one hell of an endorsement!
Fnarr Fnarr.
Does anyone think that they will be finished by the end of the WA period in a further 2 years?
Those bored of Brexit are going to be more bored than Fox jr at the St Petersburg Artillery Museum...can you believe that he couldn't summon any enthusiasm for a discussion of the merits of the SU100?

Culture war is cancelled.
If we can deviate from those rules (surely the point of Brexit?) then it ceases to be straightforward at all.

Abolition the monarchy now.
The forces of light and goodness who despise pineapple on pizza and the degenerates who like it.
Do you think a team that has actually been in reverse for 10 months can get it sorted in 18 months post Brexit?
(Complete fucking idiots to a man (or woman) is nearer the mark in my view.)
Much of our wealth in this country is in the hands of people who don’t care about Brexit. We want control of our country but we have mortgaged much of it to pawnbrokers.
It is when the question of increasing divergence comes in that it becomes complex.
If we are planning to just shadow every EU rule and regulation for evermore, what is the point of Brexit?
