ah, I was about to respond to your first part, that he has never been Brexit Secretary, but is deputy chair of the ERG and was previously in the Cameron cabinet, but was ousted when May took power

he's been prominent for a while, but until recently May was doffing her cap to him daily so he didn't feel the need to grandstand as much

don't know how it was at Oxford when she was there but at Cambridge there are quantum physics modules for maths students, so it's not mutually exclusive

I'm a STEM graduate (Dr). My first degree was theoretical physics. I studied quantum mechanics in all 3 years and fluid mechanics (my PhD used fluid mechanics but that was nearly 20 years ago now). Any views I have on politics did not come from my studies! (Well except Schrodinger comes in useful quite a lot for highlighting peoples' aptitude for holding two contradictory opinions at once eg Schrodingers immigrants simultaneously stealing all our jobs and stealing all our benefits etc).

I work two doors down from a Nobel prize winner who frequently demands that the female PhD students in the office opposite make the printer work for him.

I've also watched physicists try, and fail, often spectacularly, to get coffee from a nespresso machine.

When I was temping once in an office full of male engineers, they would try and then give up when the photocopier or printer broke down and have to get one of the 'girls in the office' (regardless of whether they were secretaries, admins, engineers) to fix it.

My former Corbyn-supporting STEM / IT friend who is Jewish and gets called kapo, self-hating and anti-semitic by his lovely family because he is in support of human rights for Palestinians and is non-zionist has gone lib dem lately. He reads and trusts the Guardian and the BBC so they have managed to wind him up even though he doesn't really believe it he doesn't know what to believe.

There seem to be quite a few lefty STEM graduates in this thread so one shouldn't assume we are a homogenous unit when it comes to politics!

Given the EU needs us to agree to hold EU Parliament elections if we extend beyond May, can Theresa just "ask" for a longer extension and then just say "but no EU elections, oh, does that mean you refuse? what a shame. well, i asked"

If the UK agreed to hold Euro elections and portray the current negotiations as progress...probably. But it would likely be a long extension (months not days or weeks).

No "likely" about it, they've said it will be until December at the earliest, probably December 2020 and they'd like December 2022.
