My bet is that one of Corbyn or May is forced to blink first on the referendum; or alternatively can mutually act out their roles in making this happen. May proposes her deal and Corbyn adds remain to ballot option.
I think we can safely call it as displacement activity focusing on a widely disliked figure. Just today again I heard with confidence that Blair is and was never less than a tory.
But that is so selfish, no deal has to be stopped
And the fact that he is exploring the possibility of no deal means the usual suspects on here going mental.

These nutjobs are a disgrace and couldn’t care less about the general public .
So our plan must be to encourage them to reform those rules, thereby opening up a space for a “Norway plus” option for us – full access to the single market with a sensible compromise on free movement rules. As their biggest non-EU trading partner, it is in the European interest to do this deal with them as much as it is in our interests to secure it.
So what is the best way to secure such a deal? Firstly we must not invoke Article 50 straight away because that puts a time limit of two years on negotiations after which we could be thrown out with no deal at all. So before setting the clock ticking, we need to negotiate a deal and put it to the British people, either in a referendum or through the Conservative manifesto at a fresh general election.
So no Brexit it will be.
Good job there are no EU countries whose economies are supported by tourism.......

Should I take an early redemption penalty on my mortgage and put 60 grand down on it ?
Senior figures in the government are convinced that with no sign of the parliamentary stalemate being resolved, Tory MPs must be allowed a free vote in a series of ballots over different options – allowing ministers and backbenchers to support a second referendum as a way out. Some ministers are planning to take matters into their own hands and back another public vote should the prime minister’s beleaguered Brexit deal be rejected. “Once the deal has been voted down, there will be no clear government position and we will be freer,” said one.
Utterly bizarre on the last thread that Mrs May attacks Blair for "insulting the office of the Prime Minister" for proposing a second referendum. We've all heard rather stronger insults than that from people on her own side. TB may not be everyone's cup of tea, but he doesn't do insults.
No Deal Brexit means no deal.
Normally.
But I am in the ultimate safe business, rich or poor, state or private, there will always be work for me.
But anyway have a great time I did.
I understand constituency betting better than Brexit. Can we have a GE please?

PLANES WILL NOT BE GROUNDED
Unless various international bodies are wrong and you know better?
Personally my money is not on you.
You should check the T&Cs of your agreement with ClubMed and get what assurances you can from them, but I would personally be quite relaxed (this is assuming all travellers are British passport holders).
But border controls (and confusion about border controls) are likely to cause chaos. It only takes a small disruption to bring large airports to an effectice halt.
That should end on 29 March, thereby pushing them into other lanes - but practically speaking it is difficult to imagine that happening.

IATA is currently struggling with the idea that although people will still be able to fly, people might think they can't.
People get very stressed at airports and, for example, ignore signs and basically forget how to be a functioning human being (or at least some of them do).
So the answer to confusion is difficult to know.

"Every part of the traveller’s journey – from booking through to support when on holiday – is affected by the UK’s membership of the EU.
Getting a good deal from the Brexit negotiations will be vital for the millions of people who travel between the UK and the EU each year."
So draw your own conclusions about what ABTA thinks No Deal means for travel to the EU.
Personally, I'm feeling rather grateful that our only planned overseas travel next year is a cruise to the Canaries, returning 24th March.
The people most at risk are those that book their flights and accommodation separately. Their airline will refund them the cost of their ticket, but will refute any liability in respect of the rest of your trip. It's those other costs that you want covered by travel insurance - and I would want cover that explicitly covered it. Insurance is an allocation exercise in risk, so it may be you have to pay more to get more.
