My prediction for Brexit:

We are heading for either something like May's deal or a no-deal. The opposition forces in Parliament don't have enough MPs and the Tory 'rebel remainers' never actually do any rebelling. May is winding the clock down to the deadline so that MPs will be left with a choice between her deal and no deal. Labour doesn't like her deal but will be blackmailed into abstaining because they can't in good conscience allow for a no-deal Brexit.

So we will end up with a crappy Brexit deal that nobody will be happy with. After that, I am predicting an ugly civil war in both major parties with the Tory right moving to depose May and the Labour right blaming Corbyn for a Brexit he couldn't have stopped and perhaps (if they have the balls) trying to form the oft-mooted breakaway party.

I want none of this to happen but it's all plausible.

Art 50 will be extended and she will get a deal with the eu, that will not completely out or in....

I fear there will be riots if there is an extension and these riots will be extreme. It's not what I want but I feel a vibe in greater London and the suburbs. @Platinum

[@Ironicman they will say they need a small extension to get Parliment to pass her deal and then to get it passed the eu and then legally passed ...can't see them having enough time....I agree there will be trouble ahead...
