The EU has granted the UK another Brexit extension – 17 scathing reactions
The EU has agreed to grant the extension request sent via Boris Johnson’s unsigned and very reluctant letter, meaning the UK has until the end of January to get a withdrawal agreement through parliament. This will come as a blow for Boris Johnson, whose stated preference was to die in a ditch rather than get an extension.
Here’s how the news broke.

Juncker should come out with a groundhog and announce “it has seen its shadow, there will be a three month extension”. If we’re going to do this every few months let’s at least have some fucking pageantry.

“Ok, but just one more chance. We really fucking mean it this time. You really must not waste this extra six years fighting amongst yourselves like members of a Butlins stag party. Also, how the fuck is Jeremy Corbyn still leader of the opposition?”#BrexitExtension

"The UK has been granted permission for a Brexit extension so on today's chat we're asking: have you ever been denied permission for an extension by an overzealous council nazi because it extended slightly more than six metres from the original rear wall of your property?" pic.twitter.com/cZ5KMAZLRI
