Theresa May is now seriously contemplating a no-deal Brexit. Here's the story of why:https://t.co/WFDKKd60Ql

Her party wants no deal, of course she'd contemplate it. Her entire plan has been to avoid party confrontation as much as she can, and she'll give in to the ridiculous if it means as few as possible throw their toys out of the pram, so whoever screams louder wins. The unicorn plan of doing what she said was impossible made it seem very likely no deal was the plan, just to blame the EU more for it.0

That suggests to me they will do something that effectively amounts to reopening the Withdrawal Agreement.

Surely the only thing worse than a no deal Brexit would be extending Article 50 for three months so we can continue to talk about no deal Brexit for even longer, and then still end up with a no deal Brexit.0

Indeed.solarflare said:Surely the only thing worse than a no deal Brexit would be extending Article 50 for three months so we can continue to talk about no deal Brexit for even longer, and then still end up with a no deal Brexit.
The only reason for an extension is if we've made a decision and need a small time to make preparations.

Yes, I think Theresa's sole focus now is how to rebuild the party she loves and was baptised into from the smouldering and putrid wreckage of a No Deal Brexit. A few die-hard Remainers may have to be culled and the public may not be forgiving about the economic hardship, but with fortitude, loyalty, determination and much patience Theresa and the Tories may come through this.0

Indeed. The arguments against an extension prior to making a decision remain. It's not as though we'll adequately prepare with that additional time, since the pretense will be that no deal is not being sought.solarflare said:Surely the only thing worse than a no deal Brexit would be extending Article 50 for three months so we can continue to talk about no deal Brexit for even longer, and then still end up with a no deal Brexit.

Sorry Cyclefree my post posted early without my explanation.
May has reached out to all parties. Labour could ratify the existing deal and still seek a customs union after the next election. That would achieve avoiding no deal and get what they are seeking.
If MPs from the opposition really want to prevent no deal there is a simple solution. If the EU really won't renegotiate and if MPs really want to stop no deal then May isn't the one voting against the deal.
Any opposition MP who claims to be worried about no deal but isn't prepared to vote for the EU's deal is crying crocodile tears.0 -

This is indeed true. It may be a terrible deal, but if no deal is so very bad then those whingers should vote for it. That wouldn't make May's brinkmanship right (for those that do fear no deal at any rate) but there's a lot of people even now who are prepared to do anything to prevent no deal...but they won't do that, as meatloaf once sang.Philip_Thompson said:

Given that Labour are losing a lot more votes than the Conservatives, these vote shares would represent a swing to the Tories of 1.4%. If we were to apply that swing uniformly across all constituencies the Conservatives would gain 16 seats directly from Labour, and end up with a majority of 10.Verulamius said:
However the model predicts that as things currently stand they would only manage to gain six of these crucial target seats. The main reason for this is a phenomena sometimes referred to as the “sophomore surge”, where first time incumbent MPs get a slightly higher voter share than would otherwise be expected.
This has been a fairly consistent theme in election results for the past 35 years, most notably in 2001 when there was a 2% swing against Labour nationally but the Tories only managed to pick up four seats.
Many Conservatives target seats are in constituencies Labour first gained in 2017, so they will have to battle against this incumbency boost. On average, in the 28 seats that Labour gained from the Conservatives in the last election, the model is currently showing there would be a small swing to Labour rather than the national swing against.0 -
