The vibe from conversations tonight is that the EU has lost any faith in the UK government or parliament to deliver on anything. There’s huge scepticism that 22/5 is enough time to achieve a deliverable cross-party compromise. “I don’t believe in miracles” said one source. /5

The scrapping of the £65 for EU citizens living in the UK and wanting to stay will be hugely welcoming for 3 million EU citizens in UK. But the fact that this is the headline of her plan B speech so far suggests that plan B is alarmingly thin on an actual plan B.

A succinct explanation from Latvia’s Foreign Minister @edgarsrinkevics on why 🇪🇺 says it’ll back Ireland to the hilt despite risk of cliff edge #brexit . It’s about a word 🇪🇺 holds dear - ‘solidarity’. (It’s also, of course, about maintaining the integrity of Single Market)

The reason for this is simple. If her plan doesn’t work & deal not done by 22/5 then there is a legally unavoidable cliff-edge ‘no deal’ at midnight on 22nd. Why? Because the UK can’t remain a member if it hasn’t taken part in European Parliament elections. /2
