That's a bit generous, 30th Oct surely?
The politico's (UK and EU) would have you believe everything is calm on the surface, but that their legs are pedalling like mad underneath trying to avoid a no deal, truth is they can't find their way into the paper bag, never mind finding a way out.
The Tories leadership race is now about who can sound toughest on Brexit and give most money away! Labour is now telling everyone (but their leader) they are now for Remain, any pretence of wanting a vote on what type of leaving deal we should put to the people has now evaporated! The lib dem(os) are now into selling printed 'T' shirts to their friends in the EU or at least selfies of themselves showing off their new merchandise (Ed Woodward take note please, this is the way to sell shirts, not buying multi-million pound players, who cant or wont play, as clothes-horses).
In the EU the changing of the guard at the top is a secretive affair, the white smoke' eventually emerged, but the result seems to have pleased no one, except the individuals themselves, who have all got form in their previous jobs and are just glad to have a chauffer-driven car of their own!
Mrs Merkel's not feeling well(can anyone blame her?) and Macron is doing his best to make her feel worse, so much for the Franco/German axis!
Going down to the wire has a new significance when viewed in EU terms.
