(Reuters) - Most European Union governments will back another Brexit delay regardless of who becomes the next British prime minister, The Times reported https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/news/brexit-will-be-delayed-to-hold-a-second-vote-says-eu-source-6vm7b6r9f on Friday, citing a senior European source.

 

At least 25 European governments are prepared to give the UK another extension, despite statements from most British prime minister candidates that Britain will leave the EU on Oct. 31 with or without a deal, the newspaper added.

 

"In the end no one wants to be seen as the one who pulls the plug," the source told The Times.

"despite"?  Surely this should be 'as a result of' (statements from most British prime minister candidates that Britian will leave the EU on Oct. 31 with or without a deal).

Well, that and what Gove and the rest of Parliament are saying.

Labour have edged to victory in the Peterborough by-election - but only after Nigel Farage's Brexit Party and the Tories split the vote.

In a result that will cause panic at Tory HQ, Lisa Forbes sneaked home by 683 votes despite winning less that a third of the vote.

The result underlines how Jeremy Corbyn could score a general election victory as the two rival parties squabble over the same support base.

The next PM will either be remembered as the one who delivered Brexit or as the last ever Tory PM.

Get on with it!

It will probably be remembered as the last ever Tory PM anyway - forget Brexit - the Tory party is going the way of the Dodo fast. The average age of the remaining Tory party members I read is 57! The idea that this xenophobic jingoistic bunch of brain dead old nutters, should chose the next PM, beggars belief.

a) With a total EU budget of € 165,8 BILLION see https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/policies/eu-budgetary-system/eu-annual-budget/2019-budget/  and https://europa.eu/european-union/about-eu/eu-budget/expenditure_en, nobody here is waiting for those £ 5.4 net, incl EU contribution to private institutions in the U.K. 

b) Italy is in total debts ( = gov + companies + privates) better off than the U.K. see  https://www.socialeurope.eu/global-debt-is-at-its-peak-italy-stands-better-than-we-think  and  https://www.europeandatajournalism.eu/News/Data-news/Public-debt-Europe-is-not-that-scary

What are you trying to say here?

 

UK's   debt as % of GDP is 86%.

Italy's debt as % of GDP is 132%.

 

Have a read of this link, especially regarding the "contagion factor" and the European Stability Mechanism.
