High level EU official tells me ahead of EU leaders’ #Brexit summit next week he’s proposing offering the UK a ‘flextension’ /1
This would be a longer extension with flexibility for UK to come out of it as soon as parliament passed and ratified the #Brexit deal /2
This has emerged after @eucopresident Tusk held ‘several hours’ of meetings in preparation for next week’s summit /3
This says the EU official is to avoid EU leaders having to consider new ‘short extension’ requests from the UK every couple of weeks /4
EU leaders won’t automatically sign up to this idea. They have to find a unanimous position while together in Brussels. At moment ‘a wide range of opinions’ is putting it mildly but @eucopresident thinks flextension could be the solution to fit all - incl UK /5
