Not much makes sense at the moment, but I suppose that might!0 -
The ECB can't really cut anymore and if they did would it make any difference. They are firing blanks on interest ratesTheBigBean said:

With hindsight it might have been a good time to get out. All countries are going to have a massive financial hit but those EU countries just getting back from the financial crisis that rely enormously are tourism i.e. those on the Med are going to really struggle to recover.0

Ah well, be nice to have something else to make things more complicated.0

May as well get it over with now and any financial impact can be blamed on the virus then!0

Rumours of an extension request:

For those of us the wrong side of the paywall could you tell us why we would do that?0

I thought their position was that six months is impossible so a two year extension was ours for the asking.Stevo_666 said:

I am not convinced Boris wants more than a few bilateral deals so why would he ask?0 -
I've not seen 6 months mentioned before - the only options available are a 1 year or a 2 year extension. As to why would he ask, maybe because we have bigger fish to fry just now as mentioned before?surrey_commuter said:

The deal isn't the issue.
It's the leaving that's the issue.
Everything we need to set up to leave drains resource.
Fine, the people who wanted to leave won, there's nothing can be done about that.
We've left the EU and we'll leave the transition arrangements
To do so now is mental

I think Boris’s leadership will be holed below the waterline by what will come to be seen as his failures in the Covid19 crisis. I think he will revert to type by talking optimistic nonsense to get his Govt back on track and press on with Brexit.tailwindhome said:

Your 99.9% prediction presupposes that Brexit is an act of economic madness. If you thought that it was the start of us regaining the greatness of Victorian times then you would see less need to delay leaving and indeed speed up departure.
