Though the European Commission and UK government agreed to “find a way through” and restart meetings, all the EU chiefs Ms May spoke to were emphatic that the withdrawal agreement – and thus the backstop – was not up for negotiation. Speaking after a meeting with the prime minister in Brussels, Brexit coordinator Guy Verhofstadt said “we welcome” the letter the Labour leader had sent to the prime minister laying out his party’s alternative proposals. The joint statement said the gathering was “held in a spirit of working together to achieve the UK’s orderly withdrawal from the EU”. The prime minister and the president will meet again before the end of February to take stock of these discussions.” Ms May’s meeting Mr Tusk comes a day after he caused a row by warning that there was a “special place in hell” for those who promoted Brexit without even a basic plan for how to actually enact it.
