Because Labour will now be accused of being to blame if there's a lengthy A50 delay or a no deal from not backing May's deal and if in the unlikely event they do agree to a deal, they run the risk of breaking apart due to a 2nd vote not happening or happening resulting from it, as applicable, amongst their parliamentary party and wider membership.
Having sent that letter, I'd tell May to do one now if I were them.

Remain was just as it is now, but with a bigger economy and David Cameron asking his Chancellor to make the next couple of budgets sweeteners for the General Election next year, which he probably could have afforded because the economy would have grown more without Brexit bollocks going on, but only probably because Chris Grayling might have spunked all the extra revenue on something.
I haven't checked, but since Brexit, we have probably had a thousand or more new bits of EU law come in, has it ruined your life?

I heard but the other day your fellow Brexiteer Rees-Mogg saying if European elections were held we run the risk of Stephen-Yaxley Lennon being elected for example, which is what May is also trying to imply.
And some Economists believe that staying in the EU is best for the short term, medium term and long term economic growth of the UK.

So just to be clear - you're quite happy to believe experts about the suggested economic benefits of staying the EU but dismiss the experts entirely about the possibility of a 'no deal' ?

The article does state, wrongly, that Dhekelia is in Turkish Cyprus, but that withstanding the issue with the euro and borders is the same.

We voted to become a second-tier economy next door to the biggest free-trade bloc in the world, at precisely the moment when the rest of the world is starting to form into trading blocs too. As a result, every single trade deal we sign, including the one with the EU, will be on worse terms than we currently have. Every one. Why? Because we will be smaller, weaker and poorer than we are now, not to mention increasingly desperate. Deals are done on the basis of where you will be when the pen hits the paper, not on where you were were you were *inside* the biggest trading bloc in the world and enjoying its considerable economic benefits.
Better prospects? When all of our trade will be on worse terms? It defies all logic and reason, so perhaps you can explain how we will ever fill the gap, never mind actually improve our position?

Remain meant stay where we are, we know what that looks like we lived in it. However, anytime it looked like we might be on the move to closer union, we would have a referendum on that step being taken and moving closer, or not, and remaining where we decided to remain in 2016. That would be a binding referendum too, not a wishy washy advisory one.
Not an ounce of evidence in that article to back up the if's, but's, maybe's and guess work.
Thats a lot of new bits ,depends if you want Europe to be one superstate or not i personally don`t not that i can do any thing about it ,i did have a democratic vote though but that was wasted even though leave won .

100 Tory MPs voting AGAINST date change
Even though it was already international law.
Should lose 550 to 100 then, less the usual no shows and abstainers.

The only European leader still being nice to Theresa May Mark Rutte has just said her letter is not enough to secure an extension. This is going well then.

An interesting take on the Newport by-election. Despite voting 56% for Brexit, they have returned a Remain MP. Yes, Labour always win in Newport, but despite the warnings that Labour voters would desert them if they campaigned for Remain, the vote was upheld.
Hamilton just about kept his deposit.

Can you just answer the question? How does that threaten Labour?
You can't see how the implied possibility of the far right being elected due to an A50 extension and Labour being accused of being responsible is a threat to them then?
What are you talking about? Whether they Corbyn met May or not, Labour didn't back May's deal.
The Labour manifesto (on which their MPs were elected) did not offer a second referendum, so why on earth would the party break apart if we don't get one?
Both sides of the house are in part responsible for not agreeing a deal. Labour's position is simply that the deal the conservatives have put on the table, is a shit deal, and most conservatives agree that it's a shit deal, so it's not really on Labour if the people vote for a far right candidate.

It's mostly dull stuff that needs to be done, like defining the period, temperature and container milk has to be heated for, to, and in, to be pasteurised, how long it can be kept and in what container at what temperature before it reaches sell by or use by date. Shit no one wants to think about and means we don't have to because it's been done, and if it hasn't, we can complain to someone about it.
This is the x% of new uk laws are made in Britain bollocks, it's a truth, but nearly all of them are laws we agree to and welcome, it's just some one in Brussels has drafted it to make perfect sense and be scientifically sound, for all 28 countries. As opposed to new law made in the UK which is much more likely to be political and knee jerk, than anything coming from the EU. Find a shit bit of law that applies in the UK and I bet it is a bit drafted in Westminster.

Again, as a result of these talks on attempting to reach an agreement, Labour will now be accused of being to blame if there's a lengthy A50 delay or a no deal from not backing May's deal. Sorry I appreciate your childish pedantry affliction, so let me rephrase that so you might understand better - what is essentially always going to be seen as ultimately a Tory, Brexit deal of May's making even if some form of compromise agreement was reached (which won't happen) so the A50/No deal accusation can be thrown at them.
Their conference motion in the autumn on a 2nd referendum was quite clear. The support for it in their parliamentary party and membership, including Momentum, is quite clear and large. The tensions within their front bench and back benches is blatantly obvious, though I accept maybe not to you. If there is agreement on reaching a deal (which will be a poor deal if there is compared to the status quo) with or without a confirmatory vote there will be huge divisions and they will have to reap them.
