Would the EU grant another Brexit extension to stop a no deal?

While a delay might be possible, it will come with conditions, writes Jon Stone

While Boris Johnson has committed to exiting the EU “do or die” at the end of next month, opposition MPs in Westminster are fomenting plans to rule out a no-deal Brexit.

The UK will leave the EU at the end of 31 October unless Article 50 is extended or revoked by the UK. Though the government has ruled out even a technical extension during talks in Brussels, one option open to the opposition is to use legislation to force the prime minister to ask for a delay.

So how likely would EU leaders be to grant an extension?
