The EU Approve the 31 January Brexit Flextension – Brexit Explained
This morning Donald Tusk, President of the EU Commission, confirmed that the EU had approved the UK’s extension. The new extension means that the UK will leave the EU on the 31st of January, with two breaks at the beginning of December and January. In this video, we discuss how this extension works and what it means for Brexit going forward.

i think what theyre not
tellin the people is that france is set to veto any other extension if
there is not a vote. i can see why no one would advertise that this
extension was almost certainly predicated upon that understanding as it
would make it seem as if the EU was demanding changes in UK leadership
for trade agreements.
@claridge8888

So when do you think the UK's return to the EU, or "Bre-entry", will happen? 2030? 2035? Or 2040?

The new season will be without Bercow. I am unsure whether this means that this is going to be the last season.
@alexandrpeterberg390
January 1, 2024 at 6:05 pm
More bloody extension. I see how it is. If they remain in EU, UK will continue paying up EU monthly. If UK leaves the EU, UK have to pay up thrice as much but just once. So its a lose lose scenario and its clear that MP doesn't wan't either of them to happen so they keep asking for extensions.
I am not even sure if those MP's even capable of making the right decision. Or any decision's.

No deal is the only way to leave the corrupt EU, every remoaner party in parliament will just reject any proposed deal because they want to remoan. We need a majority leave party to win the GE that’ll make it happen let’s get rid of these traitors to democracy.
@CalSticks
January 1, 2024 at 6:05 pm
Can’t even remember why anyone wanted to leave in the first place tbh. Was it to stop us being governed by EU overlords? When we’re now asking to stay for longer and they have given us the green light to leave?
@thomas316

Supplementary question: Why do we expect that an election will break the Parliamentary deadlock? Given current polling is it not more likely that the public will return a pro-EU majority? 🤔

You're projecting a bit when you claim that the EU is trying to "shift blame" for an extension. The EU is not playing any weird political games here. They're just genuinely trying to make it as easy as possible for the Brits to get what they've asked for, while Britain is flopping around like a gigantic fish on dry land, not able to make up its mind about anything.
