Text of EU Council decision setting up working party on the UK - consilium.europa.eu/register/en/co…
Will consist of Member States' civil servants overseeing implementation of the withdrawal agreement and Commission negotiations with the UK.
So far Germany, Austria & Slovenia have notified that they will not execute UK European Arrest Warrants for their citizens during the transition period. (They will still execute EAWs for citizens of other countries, including UK). Member States have until Tuesday to notify this.
Taking a moment to remember the folks who told me in 2016 that this wouldn't happen, when I pointed out that several Member States' national constitutions ban extradition of citizens outside the EU
Sigh. It seems that some Brexity folks refuse to accept responsibility for the foreseeable consequences of their actions, and spend their Sundays whining about the EU (actually national constitutions) and insulting people instead.
Other approaches to the non-execution of arrest warrants are available

Withdrawal agreement bill passes House of Lords with amendments - text of those amendments here: publications.parliament.uk/pa/bills/lbill…
In case some folks get this wrong: the Lords amendments to the withdrawal agreement bill do not 'block Brexit'. The Lords have only amended the bill, not voted it down; and voting down the bill would not stop Brexit anyway.
The Lords is not merely advisory - the bill has to pass both Houses of parliament in the same form. Commons would have to wait a year to overrule Lords. But since blocking the bill to try to get its way on amendments would lead to a no deal Brexit, the Lords may back down.

#EU Commissioner @JHahnEU, High Rep @FedericaMog and @RefugeesChief Filippo Grandi: Turkey’s deportation of Syrians back to a warzone violates international law. Sixteen human rights orgs are asking you to stand up for refugees and condemn Turkey’s actions #Stopthedeportations
A letter from Syrian and international human rights groups gives details. Police have beaten detainees, denied them medical care and sent them to a warzone. Read the letter diary.thesyriacampaign.org/stop-forced-de…
Turkey is creating a humanitarian catastrophe by attacking Syria but yet continues to force Syrians back home. There is no “safezone” anywhere in the north of Syria. #Stopthedeportations

Bonjour from Brussels! I’ve spent the day here to get a sense of the other side of May’s latest Brexit mayhem. I’m a keen Westminster watcher, not an EU expert (see @alexebarker @AlbertoNardelli @BrunoBrussels). But here are some outsider thoughts:
#1: Everyone I’ve spoken to is exasperated by both Theresa May and Britain’s general approach to Brexit. The EU thought it had a done deal. The PM led the Commission and member states to believe the withdrawal agreement would pass parliament. Trust has now all-but evaporated.
#2: Europe remains baffled by Westminster and how British politics operates. The lack of real cross-party co-operation, the ardent tribalism for example. Brady amendment is a case in point. It makes total sense from a Tory party perspective, but almost none from the EU.

#EU leaders issue five paragraph statement in long-shot bid to change 100+ minds in #UK Parliament "The Union stands by this agreement and intends to proceed with its ratification. It is not open for renegotiation.
2. The European Council reiterates that it wishes to establish as close as possible a partnership
with the United Kingdom in the future. It stands ready to embark on preparations immediately
after signature of the Withdrawal Agreement to ensure that negotiations can start as
soon as
possible after the UK’s withdrawal.
3. The European Council underlines that the backstop is intended as an insurance policy to
prevent a hard border on the island of Ireland and ensure the integrity of the Single Market. It
is the Union’s firm determination to work

The joy is unfinished. David Davis now up in the Commons to update House on Brexit talks.
Like a man living in another world, talks about progress towards trade phase & how talks have now "narrowed" on a "few" unresolved issues.
"Creativity". DRINK.
