The only way to solve this is a

...or in business terms, what Arista just said...stability which is needed won’t be gained from a long extension...instability will keep its comfortable place and that can’t be a good thing, surely...?...

Instability is hugely damaging, and going for extension, referendums, general elections etc is just going to make things much worse. It's disgusting that mp's are behaving like this. It's all political games with no thought for the country

Can’t argue with that.
Our Parliament(both sides) is an embarrassment.
They’ve failed in their task.

It's nobody's fault but the government. They should have sought a consensus across the party lines when May got elected. And should have got their ducks in a row before triggering art.50.

The PM has now
arrived in Brussels.
She regrets that her Parliament can not find a agreement.
Refused to answer the question:
what will she do with a longer extension?





And
this from twitter:
With an election imminent, we need two parties to choose between. They should be for In or Out'

she might, with a long extension her position is untenable, i think she could be gone by friday unless there is quick resolution.

I can see the EU getting a bit pissed at an extension summit every couple of weeks. I would now rather there was no extension, and force mp's to back a horse by friday

After all this messing about, if we don’t leave on Friday then she should resign.
Call a general election and get on with life.
