Brussels says “yes” to an extension until next year (31st January 2020).

An extension as opposed to a flextension, I believe.

So.......here we go again!

Nope, it's the other way round.

I wonder why BBC rejected my application for the politics unit, Bilky?

Handing back to you in the studio.

There's a new incentive now to end this asap before 'Little Brexit' gets to BBC One.

If Brexit were a Netflix commission, the fifth series will be the last. 😉

Why is the 12th completely out of the question, but the 9th is perfectly fine? I assume they are all just playing silly buggers.

A couple of reasons I believe. They include the following - but others also probably also apply.

A later date could still allow for passage of the Brexit bill potentially I believe, plus the later in December the election is held, the fewer students will still be in their university towns, which benefits Labour and Lib Dem candidates more than Tory.

Indeed I can very much imagine Peter and Judith Surname being regular contributors to Newswatch.

Surprised (and sort of disappointed in you lot) that there's been no post wondering if there'll be a newsflash/news special on BBC One or BBC Two tonight.
