Delivering.
This is our main focus, to make a real difference in people's lives.
All #TeamJunckerEU proposals have been put on the table.

See how #EUdelivers and what it means for you in this living thread ↓
Natural disasters know no borders.
When there is a dangerous forest fire overwhelming one country, our citizens want action.
We thus put forward #rescEU for a stronger collective civil protection response.

We promised clean energy for all Europeans.

EU opinion divided this morning: those who fear creeping inevitability of no deal #Brexit , others are upbeat: say: the negotiated Brexit deal is the last option standing; others see possibility of longer Brexit extension for general elex/2nd ref /1
Ambassadors of the 27 EU countries meet in Brussels this morning to debate the #Brexit What's Next. Will discuss ongoing no deal preparations. Concerns in rest of EU that Dublin hasn't made sufficient preparations /2
While Dublin wants to insist there will be no hard border even in case f no deal #Brexit - others in EU - incl big player Germany - worrying about protecting single market if 500km border stays open. Berlin insists checks will be necessary though can be away from border /3

With new #Brexit cut-off date set at 12 April, EU leaders thinking about possible Brexit summit a couple of days before /1
Leaders have a new short extension up sleeve if needed - which could run from 12 April to 22 May and still avoid European Parliamentary elections starting 23 May /2
If UK wants another extension, EU says the PM must inform Brussels a few days BEFORE 12 April (spoiler alert: that advance warning request didn't work too well before ast week's summit) /3

Right #Brexit peeps, what is going on? What happens next?

Short answer is its all pretty fluid, but here's what I think I know after usual chats with both etc (1/thread)
May will ask for extension to June 30, per reports.

Less clear if she will also say UK prepared to 'no deal' on June 30. That might be a key omission to watch, on which more later.

So will the EU agree? /2
Not necessarily. As @adamfleming warned this AM - and later confirmed by @JunckerEU interview - EU may say a short extension is "conditional" on May passive her deal next week (presumed new vote Mon or Tues)

That would be a reason for a short extension/3

The EU is in watch and wait mode but this is some of the thinking going on behind the scenes ahead of tonight’s vote in parliament #Brexit 1
EU leaders have no Plan B up their sleeve(s). They will only BEGIN to start talking together about a What Next after tonight’s vote 2
The EU sees no point in the PM flying out here this week if the #Brexit deal suffers a huge defeat today in parliament. EU leaders have nothing ready to say to her 3

Brexit is the backstop; the backstop is #Brexit.

After 3 days in Belfast, talking to all sides, here's what I've learned - on the business and the politics of this deal. And its viability.

1/Thread
First the business/technical aspects of how a backstop would work.

I talked to business lobby groups, Stephen Kelly from @ManufacturingNI fresh back from talks with Barnier. And bosses of big companies.

The are surprisingly sanguine. /2

telegraph.co.uk/politics/2018/…
@ManufacturingNI If the backstop emerges as the British want (and that is still an 'if') it would look as follows:

- all-UK in a temporary customs Union
- Northern Ireland only in Single Market for goods, via devolution
- no checks GB-NI
- 'de-dramatised checks on regs NI-GB

First impressions on joint report on first phase of #Brexit negotiations:

This is the first real milestone towards orderly Brexit. It should both put political fictions of exit from Brexit & chaotic no deal scenario to bed.

ec.europa.eu/commission/sit…
/1
Substantial agreements are in place for guarantuing citizen's rights, including legal protection for the foreseeable for 8 years after Brexit.

Key is 'reciprocal protection' and avoidance of any unnecessary administrative burdens.
/2
Positive are that necessary details on social security, health care, recognition of qualifications etc. are settled.

Ironically, this includes more access to UK social security for current EU citizens than Camerons renegotiation.
