A #BREXIT UPDATE: EU27 ambassadors and @MichelBarnier this afternoon discussed an ultimate end date for a potentially extended transition/implementation period of December 2022. The Westminster situation was described as "volatile". (1)

"The EU27 cannot be expected to save Britain from its own politicians… it should be ready to compromise on timing and procedure… particularly if the Westminster deadlock looks like ending in a general election or a second referendum"https://t.co/IJ5Lw9zXZO

This idea that the EU has “bullied” Britain over #Brexit is dangerous and deluded nonsense. The EU has actually defended a red line of both UK and Europe – that the Good Friday Agreement must be upheld and a hard border avoided. https://t.co/zzur4DUOM4

Any senior politician speaking like this is unworthy to hold office. Anywhere #Brexit https://t.co/cIZJgBbLBw

Dear God in heaven.

0:54 – “There is a transition period agreed anyway, so there’s some opportunity there” – he thinks the transition period *which only exists if this WA is signed off by March* is an *extension period* to agree a WA *after March*.

This is flabbergasting. https://t.co/6gYYHAtrL4

What exactly would "a better deal" look like? Who would negotiate it? How long would that take? What if the EU continues to require the Backstop protections in the current Deal? And what if the negotiations fail to deliver this mystery deal? https://t.co/IbwYREdeiU

Excl: Brexiteers still at least 6 MPs short of triggering confidence vote in PM – 48 needed, but only 42 assurances given to ERG (25 publicly, 17 in private). And that’s only if all telling the truth…https://t.co/2KfYroAV4g

AND
2) Visited Russian embassy to discuss "gold & diamond deals" pic.twitter.com/GfkyIHmwQR
