The justification to the EU for a long extension would be?
"We need time to sort our own mess out"?

Which would of course be both true and honest.
And therefore vanishingly unlikely.

5.75 million reached - its only creeping up now (compared with before, anyway) but I would say there is a good chance the magic 6 will be reached tomorrow.

Former Brexit minister criticised for using phrase ‘cultural Marxism’

https://jewishnews.timesofisrael.com/fo ... l-marxism/
A Board of Deputies spokesperson said: “Suella Braverman MP may not have been aware of it, but the term ‘cultural Marxist’ has a history as an antisemitic trope.

“We would ask for her to clarify the remarks and undertake not to use the phrase in future.”
I assume that the people yelping about every instance of alleged anti-Semitism in Labour will be all over this won't they?

The Government has responded to the “Revoke Article 50 and remain in the EU” petition and has announced that it will debate it in Westminster on Monday.

The petition has so far garnered over 5.7m signatures.

Here the full text:

This Government will not revoke Article 50. We will honour the result of the 2016 referendum and work with Parliament to deliver a deal that ensures we leave the European Union.

It remains the Government’s firm policy not to revoke Article 50. We will honour the outcome of the 2016 referendum and work to deliver an exit which benefits everyone, whether they voted to Leave or to Remain.

Revoking Article 50, and thereby remaining in the European Union, would undermine both our democracy and the trust that millions of voters have placed in Government.

The Government acknowledges the considerable number of people who have signed this petition. However, close to three quarters of the electorate took part in the 2016 referendum, trusting that the result would be respected. This Government wrote to every household prior to the referendum, promising that the outcome of the referendum would be implemented. 17.4 million people then voted to leave the European Union, providing the biggest democratic mandate for any course of action ever directed at UK Government.

British people cast their votes once again in the 2017 General Election where over 80% of those who voted, voted for parties, including the Opposition, who committed in their manifestos to upholding the result of the referendum.

This Government stands by this commitment.

Revoking Article 50 would break the promises made by Government to the British people, disrespect the clear instruction from a democratic vote, and in turn, reduce confidence in our democracy. As the Prime Minister has said, failing to deliver Brexit would cause “potentially irreparable damage to public trust”, and it is imperative that people can trust their Government to respect their votes and deliver the best outcome for them.

The Immigration and Social Security Co-ordination (EU Withdrawal) Bill removes all EU free movement of persons rights, without addressing the rights of those who currently benefit from EU free movement of persons rights under EU law, including social security rights. This includes the rights of those who have resided in the UK for many years or even decades, working in the UK, paying into our social security system, and even having been born in the UK and lived here their whole lives.

Removing their rights without any legislative protection in place to guarantee those rights raises significant human rights concerns. Without the necessary protections and guarantees, these provisions could leave individuals and families in a situation of precarity as to their futures, including housing, social security and property rights.

Although the Government has said that it is not its intention to strip EU Citizens resident in the UK of their rights, that is the effect of this Bill as it stands.

Parliamentary report out today looking at the current status of the Immigration and Social Security Co-ordination (EU Withdrawal) Bill linked here on Parliament's bill status website.
The report highlights many alarming ambiguities regarding non-UK EU nationals' rights in the UK.
UK EU citizens won't have EU free movement of persons' rights enshrined in UK law either, but that's an aside.

Interesting development from Tory Brexit MPs. The lawfulness of This Government's actions needs scrutiny, for sure. The UK can't leave the EU unlawfully.

PorFavor, I'm sorry I didn't answer your post yesterday regarding Tory Brexit MPs referring to themselves as 'Grand Wizards'.
Yes, they really did that.

I read posts elsewhere indicating they're confused about what's going on in the House regarding votes and Brexit. I'm confused too.
