Possibly as soon as monday or moving to the next stage of the brexit process, this legislative slaughtered trying to get everything done so that they can leave on time. Was a talloctober order. So the current deadline is now january 21. Assuming the eu agrees. Host i have to ask you why this now threeyear process has been politicallyed, so divisive, and now with a third Prime Minister trying to dealing trying to deal with that, beginning with david camero
