It isn't confirmed yet, but it would be a sensible move, and has, at least some, EU backing. https://www.buzzfeed.com/albertonard...bfsharetwitter | | The following 3 users would like to thank Blueangel for this useful post: | |

I am actually glad that someone in this sorry dog's dinner of a mess has some sympathy and understanding for the people of Britain and the economy, because many in the tory party and the ERG do not give a rat's arse.

In what way did he have his way? Didn't he say he was happy the present parliamentary session was his last?
failure is the new success now is it?

Ofsted chief, Professor Daniel Muijs, has been refused 'settled status' in the first round of his application and must now provide further evidence.  | Quote: |  | | | Ofsted chief not accepted for 'settled status'
Originally from Belgium, he has worked in the UK for more than 20 years.
The Home Office says he has not been "refused", but more information needs to be supplied.
Prof Muijs, whose research work has helped to improve schools in England, has so far not been accepted by the application process for EU citizens wanting to continue living and working in the UK after Brexit. | | | | | https://www.bbc.com/news/education-47853438
If someone of his educational level and length of service to the UK can be subjected to this, god help anyone else who may not be as intelligent. It's also not helpful that Guy Verhofstadt has picked up on this, and he isn't impressed. Windrush II?

And besides people like Farage and Ming to mention another one play an important part in parliament - they act as the filler allowing MEPs to pop out for a coffee, send and SMS etc. as they can be sure these clowns are not going to say anything of any importance ;-)

So what right to revocation is this? The right to revoke the extension? Or the right to revoke the application for the extension? And what does "at any time" mean? Does it mean, without prior notice, or does it mean whenever it suits them?

I'm sitting here wondering of all this talk of a 9 or 12 month extension has the hidden agenda behind it of 'guiding' the MP's into voting for a no-deal immediate exit.
They (EU and May) all know no-one really wants a long extension, and that forcing one upon the UK might make the UK to choose the no-deal exit on Friday.

I'm interested to know why you would say that. Do you have prior experience of her?

Idiot or not (would dispute that at least partially as well), how does that invalidate the Bundesgericht decision and the implication over the Brexit result?
