Is there really such a big difference between France + Germany over #Brexit extension and way forward over next days? Not really. There are big differences in Merkel/Macron political styles. Big differences in message they want to send own domestic audience when talk Brexit /1
Bottom line for EU leaders when they meet today - aside from all their #Brexit frustration/irritation/fatigue is they hope to avoid a no deal Brexit if possible but they don’t intend to throw Ireland under a bus to try to ensure a deal by offering something new on backstop /2
As well as the PMs short extension request, EU leaders will debate a longer extension that the UK could ask for/the EU could offer if Theresa May’s negotiated #Brexit deal is rejected again in parliament next week /3
