No Deal is still not fully off the table, Lords have backed it so it will go on Monday to get the royal assent which makes it law but technically there is still ways to get a no deal.

What could happen-
-Boris has apparently said several times today in passing he wouldn't ask the EU for an extension which would lead to the courts getting involved and this could delay it so long that 31st October comes and we drop out of EU without a deal (the law states the PM needs to be the one to ask for the extention and the EU need this to happen before a certain date)
-The government call at vote of no confidence in itself- This can lead to an election however the tory part don't have a majority and would rely on others to get it through(it needs to 2/3rd of the house votes) and then they can set an election before the deadline and try and gain a tory majority back again to push through no deal.
-The government could actually try and get another deal-theres been talks of bringing back Theresa May's deal or getting Boris off his arse and going to the EU to see if theres another deal.
-Peoples vote- I dont see Boris and co going for this but there has been campaigning for a new vote which would basically ask the public again what they want and this would include a no deal option
-EU refuse, unlikely but still could happen. EU could refuse an extension and we crash out as they need votes from all member states to agree to this. They'll probably just set another date again for us to come to an agreement on what to do.

Yeah Boris is stubborn so he's going try everything to get a no deal through and I dont see him even attempting to try and get a different deal. We need to oust him but first we need to make sure no deal is off the table.

I think Macron might allow an extension this time as no deal is becoming more and more of reality. If we were to leave with May's deal still on the table, I think he would have refused an extension it to get us to take the deal.
