A few more data points to support my negativity @JGForsyth. Based on chats w all sides. Short #Brexit thread
Cox has left impression with his EU counterparts that if only he'd been involved, outcome would somehow be different /1
Very frustrating for EU, which has had to re-explain to AG why alt arrangements and time limits don't fly. Tomorrow, they'll do same re unilateral exit clause /2
Cox, Barclay have tabled no new concrete suggestions. Nor has May in her discussions with EU leaders. More worryingly, in calls May has had so far, she's not once mentioned extending A50 /3
EU side are no fools. Hard for them to see this as anything other than time wasting /4
Still possible process will deliver a combination of things (revised PD, strengthened Juncker-Tusk letter; codicil) that allows Cox to soften his legal advice. But lots of risks. Not least whether it'll deliver a majority in Commons /5
