Meanwhile back in the real world, we are now on the 26th October.

Whether it is posturing or not, France at least seems reluctant to offer another extension without conditions attached such as a GE, or an extra 2-4 weeks to allow the time to ratify the current agreement.

I'm half expecting something unexpected this week.

Will Macron veto the extension?

Will Johnson have a way out legally to WTO on the 31st, come what may?

Will Johnson resign rather than take the UK out?

Will Corbyn agree to a General Election?

OK, I know, I'm getting a bit silly with that last one
