European Council President Donald Tusk met Irish Taoiseach Leo Varadkar in Dublin today to “confirm full EU unity on Brexit”. After that they issued a joint statement emphasizing that “we must now see what proposals emerge from London” in advance of the summit in Brussels on Thursday. Also, they noted “preparations continue in Ireland and across the European Union for a no deal scenario, which would have serious consequences for all concerned.
Meanwhile, UK Prime Minister Theresa May’s spokesman said she is going to writing a letter to Tusk asking for Brexit delay. But it’s not clear that how long a delay she’d seek. Some Eurosceptics in May’s Cabinet emphasized that that they’re rather leave without a deal than have a long Article 50 extension. But there seems to be no agreement in the Cabinet meeting yet.
