UK Prime Minister Theresa May called off Tuesday’s Brexit parliamentary vote as her deal would be defeated by a wide margin. Instead, May is going back to the EU for adjustments in the deal, in particular on Irish border backstop. Response from EU is so far rather cold.
European Council president Donald Tusk tweeted that they will discuss Brexit at the Dec 13/14 scheduled EU meeting. But he emphasized that “we will not renegotiate the deal, including the backstop”. Though, he said “we are ready to discuss how to facilitate UK ratifications:. Also, “as time is running out, we will also discuss our preparedness for a no-deal scenario.”
