Emmanuel Macron will be strongly tempted to veto another delay to Brexit because of the “deteriorating situation” in the UK, a former top French diplomat is warning...

... “The situation of the UK as a member state becomes every day more awkward and strained,” the former French ambassador to the EU warned. Mr Sellal did not rule out a French veto – if, as expected, the prime minister is legally forced to request one – saying the UK was failing to present “a credible acceptable alternative” to the deal it had rejected.

Arguing Mr Macron would require “a sufficient level of trust”, he told BBC Radio 4: “Maybe what is missing today is this trust about the way your country sees its future with the European Union... In this regard, I believe that the situation has been deteriorating. It is very difficult to have the necessary trust that could justify a new examination of a new date.”

If France did veto an extension, the UK would crash out of the EU on 31 October, unless parliament suddenly approved the divorce deal – or revoked Article 50 altogether...

1. Shit, Macron. UK is self-destructing enough on its own. Please don't offer help.

From the Left and from the Green!

4. I want a pro-Remain socialist and liberal and green coalition government

of national unity (with perhaps Caroline Lucas as PM and hopefully including the SNP) that will unilaterally Revoke Art. 50, as the European Court has said it can, thus remaining in the EU. The UK can then participate in the EU's political processes pushing policiy alternatives such as to Macron's neoliberalism (having duly aplogised for the UK's prior role in also promoting the same, and other 'sins'). I would also want this government to conduct root and branch constitutional and electoral reform in the UK.

5. Gotcha...

Anything that will remove this insanity and stop BREXIT--at the true risk of that hard-fought Northern Ireland peace.
