O/T DDay for Brexit..well sort of...

Can't parliament instruct the new pm to take no deal off the table?

How?

Parliament voted to trigger Article 50. The government duly gave notice to the EU, which meant that we would leave after two years, with or without a deal, unless we asked for an extension and the EU27 unanimously agreed to allow one.

Parliament has refused to agree the only deal that the EU says it will offer.

Assuming that the EU will not reopen the deal and Parliament isn't going to have a change of heart on it, the only options now are leave without a deal or revoke Article 50 and remain.

As Exile has noticed, the leave date isn't set in stone and we could ask for a further extension, but I don't believe that the new PM will ask and I don't think the EU would unanimously agree. What would be the point?

Attempts to 'take no deal of the table' have been a significant part of the problem. In negotiating terms it was analogous to going into a car showroom, telling the salesman that you are definitely going to buy a particular car (a deal) and then expecting to be offered a really good price.

Why wouldn't they agree at £1billion per month As I said before "kerching" it's the language the EU understands very well
