🇬🇧 @theresa_may & 🇪🇺 @eucopresident spoke tonight.
I am told by an EU official that the “open & frank” call was longer than expected. It started at 1845 and lasted for more than half an hour. /1

Mr Tusk told Mrs May that it’s clear what 🇬🇧 doesn’t want, but they still don’t have a clear idea of what it does want. The ‘alternative arrangements’ refered to in the Brady amendment don’t amount to a plan. /2
.@theresa_may responded, says an EU official, by saying that the House of Commons *has* identified the issue that is problematic - the backstop.
Tusk said - yes but we don’t know how to solve that. /3

Tusk continued by explaining that before 🇪🇺 can offer solutions, it needs to see 🇬🇧 suggestions and needs to know they can pass the House of Commons - that is the very first move before we can work forward.
Mrs May accepted that they have to work to provide something. /4
