Here is the letter to Tusk:
Letter seeks Tusk help with “supplementary documents” agreed with Juncker in Strasbourg, if agreed at European Council would then put Govt in position to have new Meaningful Vote...
Purpose for extension as communicated by PM to Tusk is to “ratify the deal constructively”...
Basically extend to June 30th - but strategically nothing has changed - same idea from Number 10 - squeeze one side of Parliamnent with a threat of No Deal, other side with threat of No Brexit.

EU says it has completed No Deal preparations... europa.eu/rapid/press-re…
“EU will be required to immediately apply its rules and tariffs at its borders with the UK.... these controls could cause significant delays at the border.”

Seems to be confirmation of third country tariffs being applied to all UK exports into EU under WTO rules - 45% of exports
“We would apply WTO tariffs” confirms EU via @Stone_SkyNews

Sample of Tory MPs contacting me....

1. “No peaceful transition... whoever takes over 'immediately' becomes PM! - and will have a chance if delivering their type of Brexit .. big stakes.. will be brutal”.
2. A minister: “No interim. The answer to instability is not a temporary leader!”
3. May loyalist Minister: “dark days for PM and party..authority got really knocked last week.
But- change of leader does not solve the problem. fundamental divide between no deal/no extension group and those who now think only free vote indicative votes are the way forward”.

IDS criticises plan for Commons to take control tomorrow as “a recipe for utter chaos”...
Brexit Secretary Steve Barclay says that yes there is a “crisis” and that is the fact that the Commons is trying to take over Government tomorrow
Barclay says timing of MV might be before indicative votes or after - Tues or Thurs.

Indicative vote “not binding” says Barclay - “ultimately risk of GE increases if PArliament instructs Executive to do something counter to what out was elected to do - constitutional collision”

#Juncker announces extra summit on #Brexit extension next week: "I assume that we will not be able to reach a decision this week [at #EUCO] but that we will have to meet again next week," @JunckerEU told @DLF just now.
Asked what #May needs to "have in her bag" when she goes to Brussels to ask for #Brexit extra time, #Juncker told @DLF that "approval of the negotiated [Withdrawal] Agreement" is precondition for extension.
.@JunckerEU on @DLF: "My assessment... we'll probably have to meet again next week because Mrs May doesn't have approval for anything — not in her Cabinet and not in Parliament. As long as we don't know what Britain could say yes to, we can't come to any decision."

#Strasbourg @laurentwauquiez n'est pas le seul à visiblement ne pas savoir ce qu'est une "fiche S" (car s'il le sait, c'est autrement plus grave). Du coup petits éléments de contexte sur la fameuse fiche S et les questions que vous pouvez vous poser dessus ⤵️
"Combien d’attentats commis par des fichés S devons-nous encore subir avant d’adapter notre droit à la lutte contre le terrorisme ? " a déclaré l'intéressé avant de se faire tacler, y compris dans son propre camp par @GrosseteteF
Mais pourquoi les individus fichés S ne sont pas enfermés ? La « fiche S » n’est qu’une des 21 catégories du vieux fichier des personnes recherchées (FPR) vieux de quarante ans qui comptait 400 000 personnes inscrites en 2010.

The #Brexit legal advice blown massive hole in PM’s so called deal.
❗️GB would be a “third country according to NI”.
❗️NI would have full SM access, putting Scotland at competitive disadvantage
❗️UK might become subject to protracted & repeated rounds of negotiations 1/3
2/3 Here is the letter in full across two tweets. It shows a complete failure of May’s negotiation, because she backed herself into an impossible position as she drew so many conflicting red lines.
The PM is now in an even more desperate and precarious position.
3/3 there is no way this will be accepted by UK Parliament next week. It is due to be rejected by Holyrood later too. There are different paths available to us, we don’t have to accept this nonsense.

And who said: "unconditional direct income support to farmers is manifestly absurd in today’s world when it maintains uncompetitive farming practices that have negative implications for the climate, the environment or people’s health"?
