It's Monday morning, so where are we with Brexit?

1/
Well, as you might expect after last week's unambiguous statement from the EU that the UK needs to get moving fast on the Withdrawal Agt, not much

2/
May's second attempt at a presser (w no Qs, obvz) on Friday did manage to deflect much attention, both by saying it was the EU's turn to come up with ideas and by being more steely on Chequers

3/
That contained some CON fury (and possibly avoided a Cabinet resignation), but it means that progress isn't coming soon

4/
Meanwhile, LAB remain unable to decide what they want to do about it all.

Growing pressure for #EUref2, but Corbyn and McDonnell continue to be unwilling (with no sign that'll change)

5/
This all suggests we've got another lost fortnight on the UK side, until May can get through conference

6/
Probably most interesting thing will be whether EU continue to keep public pressure high for progress, or let it lie for now. Working assumption should be the latter, as there was some surprise about how Salzburg went down.

7/
(that also means the bright star of Tusk's instagram will burn a bit less brightly for the next month or two, meme fans)

8/
In short, UK remains deeply stuck in its own world, while the clock ticks on

/end
