Unless the HoC agree to the WA by next week, an EU extension is unlikely.
Will that be enough to have pragmatism trump principle?
apparently, the DUP will climb down on Monday, ERG on Tuesday and TM ask MPs to vote on MV3 Wednesday.

Yes, when they`ve got what they want.
only if TM gets her deal. The vultures are circling right now, waiting or her to announce her leaving date.
The problem is she needs 70 MPs to switch side. Even with the help of the DUP, the numbers don't add up to 70.
We are looking at next brexit date Dec 2020.

Pathetic ploy from TM in the Telegraph
Theresa May The patriotic thing for MPs to do is vote for my deal

Russia expects and all that, or is it America or China expects?
And from the Express

David Starkey's take on it all. He doesnt like Blair either... Now there, s a surprise..
In essence I now see it that MPs are voting on Wednesday to decide if we leave by May's deal or remain.???
Lets hope one way or another they make a decision.

How can one remain under a rule which doesn't exist? Maybe someone should tell her the UK is ruled by the Queen...

From the Guardian
"
More than £100bn of UK property is secretly owned
Analysis by Global Witness shows 87,000 properties – 40% of them in London – are anonymously owned by firms registered in tax havens
"
The government committed to introduce a register of UK property owners at its anti-corruption summit in 2016, but since then progress has been slow.


“It’s increasingly clear that UK property is one of the favourite tools of the criminal and corrupt for stashing and laundering stolen cash,” said Ava Lee, senior anti-corruption campaigner at Global Witness.


“This analysis reveals the alarming scale of the UK’s secret property scandal.”
No wonder there is money backing Brexit

Have you ever tried buying an investment property? Procedures are very tight. You are required to provide a surprising amount of evidence to demonstrate how you obtained the money. It’s quite an in-depth and intrusive process. I don’t object to it at all, if it thwarts the drug scum money launderers.

I purchased a derelict pub which came with some land a few weeks ago and I’m still in the process of verifying the purchase funds. So it’s not quite the free for all imagined, but like everything, more could be done.

If you have access to a lawyer with sufficient" talent"(if that's the appropriate word) for fabricating convincing supporting evidence, these people don't seem to find it a problem!

No one is saying it's easy, but villains seem to find a way round the obstacles that face you and I!

Noticed Faraged managed to demonstrate 3 things on his march other day.
A) British weather is pretty awful and not condusive to protests.

B),British psyche is rather different to French with regards protests.

C)How little influence he actually has over voters. I think I counted 47 of them, we could just about manage that.
