I hope you are all well. My wife and I have a house in Campoverde and wanted to retire early this year to Spain. But I don't think it will happen this year. House in uk on the market but people can't veiw and even if it sold, we can not leave the UK. I think maybe it will now be 2021. I hope Boris asks for a extension. Stay safe everyone.

The extension you are looking for is highly unlikely Im afraid.
Brexit was signed and agreed on Jan2020 and this year is the 'tidy up' year. The current negociations with the EU are concerned with Trade agreements.....and the outcome of those have nothing to do with the the agreement signed in Jan2020. If an extension was granted, it will be for the Trade Negociations, not for the rules governing freedom of movement and residencia which become fixed at the end of this year.
The Pandemic and resultant lockdowns have really screwed (reduced) the timetables!

Not fully correct.
The Joint Committee meetings will hopefully clarify the points that weren't included in the formally agreed Withdrawal Agreement, and it is that Joint Committee which is empowered to extend the transition period.

If the government want it, the pandemic has given them the perfect opportunity to extend without losing face. But that assumes they want to extend. If agreements on trade are not settled by 31.12 and we crash out without a deal it will be very clear that No Deal was always on the agenda, which given the current position would be cavalier in the extreme.
I have a hunch that despite his primary instinct not to, that Johnson may well extend because of the economic damage Covid has done to the economy.
A no deal economic meltdown on top of covid meltdown could see the country devastated, and an early GE, certainly earlier than the Conservatives would have anticipated, and if there was mass unemployment and deprivation, it wouldn't be a given that they would win it, something that a few weeks ago was unthinkable.
So I think the odds on an extension are 60/40 right now. Maybe higher.
Just thoughts, not necessarily predictions!
