No Deal fucks Ireland real hard, and the EU has staked its credibility on 'we will not gently caress over minor EU member Ireland'. As Ireland is down for any sort of extension at all, for now the EU kinda has to back them up on this.

Macron is posturing for his domestic audience atm - until Ireland loses patience (not something they want to do, as they are to us as Finland was to the USSR) the EU will continue to offer extensions.

The EU is not going to kick the UK out if there's a chance it will stay in with less powers. That's a national embarrassment, the UK has still lost money and influence and the EU is not as disrupted as it would be. Almost everyone wins, even the common UK pleb. The only losers are the disaster capitalists that planned this. Oh but I guess the UK still exists and is getting away with its colonial crimes blah blah blah loving blah.

Just loving calm down. Ireland is gonna reunify within a decade whatever happens. Scotland isn't getting less angry at England. It's still going to fall apart just in a less spectacular way.

yeah this tory government have managed to put scottish independence and irish reunification into the public consciousness in a way that hasn't really existed in a long time

The latter, and yeah, the 1922 committee (internal Tory thing) can't have another pop at her for a year.

No confidence (as usually used) is the parliamentary Vote of No Confidence (VONC) which would be against the government as a whole rather than May personally

that's conservative ground troops demanding that they remove her as PM, unless i miss my guess

hilariously she'd still be leader until she resigned, though, and if she was willinh to eat more poo poo she might manage to scrape together a confidence majority before another election was called, and purge anyone who voted no confidence in her

basically these are tory activists-possibly, hilariously, with some level of UKIP infiltration- who are demanding they engage in outright civil war
