Same boring twaddle from the usual.
May: The House has rejected my deal. This means there is a lot of uncertainty.
Corbyn: Call a general election.

Donald Tusk calls European Council on 10th April. This is the real cliff edge, date drop dead, date now.

hang on - Grayling is on the radio. What could possibly go wrong..................................
His take away point was that the UK leave the EU with no deal on 12th April and that the labour party ( and he stressed this often) were to blame for handing over control of this process to the EU. That seems a bit off the mark.

Random Journalist #1: "Her [May's] credibility has been shot."
Random Journalist #2: "Her credibility was shot a long time ago."
Every time we [this country] get this supposed "crunch time", there's always another vote or series of options around the corner. I wonder when this will actually end. The 12th of April is the new deadline, but if we get there, will we really leave without a deal? Or, will legislation to participate in the European Parliamentary elections be put through? (The deadline for putting such legislation is shortly after the 12th of April which was the reaon for that deadline.) That would mean that a long delay to Brexit could happen. I really don't think anyone actually wants to continue along this horrible state of limbo; they either want to leave or remain.
Theresa May says "we are reaching the limits of this process in this house". That, to me, is a suggestion that she may go outside the house to general public to get some form of vote. However, she has ruled out a second referendum and a general election will do nothing whatsoever.

Meanwhile David Cameron, the man responsible for this chaos with his flipping referendum, has run for the hills.
May actually lost some of the Labour votes she had previously because of her stupid outburst pitting Parliament against the public. She needs to go, now! Instead of trying to bring Parliament together she invites an elite group of Brexiteers to chequers to try and appease them. She will go down in history as the PM who lead the UK to a no deal hard Brexit because of her intransigence!

So no deal it is, then. Tempted to put money on it.
For all you football fans out there:
E-I-E-I-E-I-O
Down the world league here we go
When we crash out of Europe
This is what we'll sing
We're not very,
We're not very,
We're not very good,
S*** aaaaaarrrrrrgggghhhhhhh...
WIbble!
(Apologies for non-football fans, but given everything going on football chants are making more sense than politics!)

No idea what will happen. Equally strong suggestions of a customs union. Lets just call it all off, have a brew and get on with life.

A cup of Yorkshire Gold is indeed called for - even though I am a Lancastrian! (Well, Scouser technically)

Parliaments response to @DarloRich 's tea request:
EDIT: A fun game should be to decide what tea each MP drinks when they stand up to make a speech.

Your mug certainly screams "no deal", not sure about the tea.I dunno, is this the No Deal version?

May : Tea anyone ?
Corbyn: Can I have coffee
Arlene Foster : Can I bring my own drink
Everyone else : Can we have a coke

Brilliant!It's certainly got leaves in it.
Once one finally gets to the end of the process, the leaves are all clustered at the bottom meaning one can't actually finish the tea without spitting most of it out.
This is all reminding me of James Acaster's Brexit tea analogy:

The Independent Group is definitely the one that would go for those wierd herbal "tea" things.

My dad has to drink that stuff because he can't have any caffeine at all (not even a tiny amount, so decaf is out too) due to a medical condition. He can't have chocolate either. Not sure I'd want to live

From BBC live news pages "'We can't leave the country drifting rudderless' - Grayling".
No ferries presumably means no rudders.

If Failing Grayling gets PM, we're doomed, I say, we're doomed!
I've programmed my TV to automatically go to mute everytime either Grayling, Farage or a member of the ERG comes on.

We're not rudderless. There's still that MP from Hastings.
