carsten: a long extension does not make a lot of sense.ll offer a long extension because from their point of view, this makes sense because it could mean we even see a second referendum or a deal with no deal toward the end of the year, because then the hard brexiteers were not be in favor of a long extension. what is needed is that theresa may comes to brussels and comes up with options, because for the agreeit will be hard to on anything without getting a reason or goal why the extension is needed. francine: how difficult is it to be in theresa may's reign? what is it that she can try to do to move? it looks like she is in a stalemate. stephanie: is it her own making? many would say because she wants to keep her party together rather than reaching across the house, and that is the great unspoken thing. we had said months ago she would be at that point and looking with the labour party to form a majority vote around the customs union or a norway type deal. she has not even begun that conversation and has not given herself a plan b or c. t
