EU summit: Centre-left Timmermans tipped for top post
EU leaders will gather in Brussels shortly for talks to decide who should get the EU‘s top jobs, including a new Commission president.
Reports say the current favourite to head it is Dutch centre-left politician Frans Timmermans. He is a Commission first vice-president.

Juncker bringt Merkel fĂŒr EU-Amt ins Spiel

„No deal on 12 April at midnight has become a scenario that looks more and more likely,“ says @EU_Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, telling MEPs that finding an alternative „depends entirely on the UK“
Brexit: What just happened?
– A shorter delay until 12 April if they reject it. By that time the UK must set out its next steps – either another extension or leaving without a deal
But the EU says a further extension beyond 12 April is only possible if the UK agrees to hold European elections on 23 May.
According to European Commission President Juncker, with European Council President Tusk at his side, „all options remain on the table … the UK government will still have a chance of a deal, no deal, a long extension or revoking Article 50“. Or of course a People‘s Vote!

Albert Einstein apparently said. By that yardstick, the Prime Minister and the EU are are completely off their rockers.
#BREAKING View from Dublin: 1. Withdrawal Agreement is unchanged 2. Joint statement is a legal interpretations of whatâs in the WA (agreed by both sides) 3. Unilateral statement is UK talking to themselves.
Mood in Gov Buildings described as âcalmâ. #Brexit
basically Government now hinges on whether its own Attorney General will unilaterally declare that Governmentâs unilateral declaration that it can unilaterally trigger an exit process from the backstop (subject to arbitration) now means the backstop will not âendure indefinitelyâ
All Eyes on DUP Now: May pulls a unilateral declaration out of the hat
Mayâs statement is here, the EUâs here â review them yourself. We await Coxâs legal review and the decision of the DUP critics tomorrow. If the DUP give it the thumbs up most Tory rebels will follow suit. The ERGâs lawyers are unlikely to be enthusiastic â that is already priced in. Guido suspects those Tory MPs that want to avoid the hell that will follow a delay to Brexit â for whatever reason â will choose to believe the rabbit is real.

During the handshake with Juncker, May was asked by several of the press whether she had alternative proposals, with another journalist jokingly asking the UK leader „Is this hell, Prime Minister?“ The question was presumably in response to Wednesday‘s comment by Tusk stating that there was „a special place in hell“ for „those who promoted Brexit without even a sketch of plan how to carry it safely.“
