    I assumed a delayed leaving, was the EU trying to do the UK a favour by allowing them time to negotiate a long term trade deal without having to commit to the backstop in the meantime.

    So basically a delayed leaving instead of the transaction period. Or have I got that wrong?

    This is like trying to decode Donald Trumps tweets. Stagger, what Daily Mail article were you reading at the time?

    I though the Daily Mail, with the new editor, was a Remoaner now?

    They still have the same readership. And they still have the same owners.

    Brexit could be delayed until 2021 under plans being explored by the EU’s most senior officials, at a time of growing exasperation over Theresa May’s handling of the talks, the Guardian can reveal.

    I put the majority of blame for this Brexit mess on those MP's, from all parties, whose constituents voted to leave the EU and their wishes have been blatantly ignored. When the next election comes around in 2022, at the latest,I hope they are either de-selected or lose their seats.

    Being fair, it is not that "their wishes have been blatantly ignored", it is a case of conflicting requirements. The Backstop is the classic one. With the exception of die-hard DUP supporters, there is massive support for it in N.I. The Irish Times article below puts it at 60%
    The simple solution would have been a N.I only backstop but because of the DUP it is has morphed into a UK wide one, which is at the centre of the problems at the moment. It has put the UK negotiators in a very difficult position, that they would prefer not to be in.

    I put the majority of blame for this on those constituents who failed to be convinced by their MPs' sound advice (and that from industry) regarding the benefits of remaining within the EU. I hope when the next election comes around they show a bit more sense.
