What actually is the difference between Theresa May’s original plan and her plan B?

A few changes and clarifications that the EU wouldn’t even give us? I guess there was some stupid contorted possible bonkers reason for the slowness and indecision last month, but isn’t this just blatantly (deliberately?) wasting time now?

I think your right as the way things stand with the 29th of march enshrined in law .The only way to stop it or extend it they have to pass new laws get agreement from all the EU countries before anything can happen which there just isn't time for .They cant have another referendum as there is no time so were left with 2 choices deal or no deal

@Rhodesianman Actually I think there is time... just to do something else. The EU might be prepared to extend article 50 but we don't know that.

@Burnley123 They have to pass new laws to change the date and cancel the date already enshrined and get agreement from all EU countries and get it all signed off they havnt got the time .

@Rhodesianman I think the EU would extend article fifty for an election or a ref. Rumours are that eight govt ministers have told constituency parties to expect an election on Feb 28th. That's according to Stephen Bush in the new statesman who is very well connected. We will see if it happens but it must be under consideration.
