Summary
The Halloween imagery is far too easy for a story of Brexit's twists and turns but it leaves the Prime Minister having to convince MPs once again that the Withdrawal Agreement must be brought back from the dead to secure what she calls an 'orderly departure.'

Joining Adam in Brussels are Sky's Europe correspondent Michelle Clifford and in Westminster the Telegraph's Brexit commissioning editor Asa Bennett, the head of politics at City AM Owen Bennett and the head of Sky Data Harry Carr.

| 1:04.7 | the UK until Halloween to sort itself out. At that point, we would leave apparently without a deal, or would we? |
| 1:13.6 | It wasn't what Mrs May asked for, of course. She only wanted a short extension to the end of June. |

| 1:25.6 | I know that there is huge frustration from many people that I had to request this extension. |
