As "Index" reports, referring to Sunday Times, the delay would be “fungible” meaning that Britain could leave earlier, on the 1st or 15th of November, December or February, if his deal is ratified before the extension ends, Sunday Times writes, referring to diplomatic sources.
This London based paper reports that no decision will be taken until EU governments can assess the chances of the withdrawal treaty getting through parliament, not before Tuesday this week.
A European source has revealed that he thinks the situation in Britain is "very unclear" and that the EU does not want to take a decision to postpone Brexit out of concern that the British Parliament may ratify the agreement in the meantime.
He did not rule out the possibility for both parties to carry out the ratification by October 31, but in that case a "technical" delay could also occur to bring the process to an end.
The agreement should be ratified by both the British and European Parliament.
It was unlikely that the EU’s 27 remaining member states would refuse Britain’s request to delay once again its departure, given the impact on all parties of a no-deal Brexit.
European diplomats and officials on Sunday revealed in Reuters that, depending on developments in London, delay options vary from one additional month to the end of January, to six month period or longer.
European ambassadors formally began the ratification process on Sunday with a briefing with chief European negotiator Michael Barnier, diplomatic sources told the agency, demanding that they remain anonymous.
They "took note" of Johnson's request for a delay on Saturday, and European Council President Donald Tusk will consult with European leaders in the coming days.
Why would anyone want to enter this Mafia

The biggest reason: the political mafia can get fat cheques from Brussel if they play well.
However, we are not entirely left behind because:
- these cheques are partially used for serious infrastructure improvement, so we enjoy better housing, transportation and so on
- if we really hate what is going on, we can simply move to a better place without much bureaucracy.
It's a rotten deal, but better than no deal.
Good example is Bulgaria, which before ca. 2010 was far worse than Macedonia.
After that the monies from Brussel started slowly show up.
