Bloomberg reports, citing three EU officials on the matter
- Says that the UK is heading for a long Brexit extension
The story says that a small number of European member states argued for an extension to 30 June but most of them would prefer the extension to be much longer, either to December 2019 or even March 2020. It is said that the discussion was focused on which date will put the most pressure on the UK parliament to ratify the Brexit deal on the table.
The Bloomberg source also mentions that EU ambassadors will continue talks in Brussels tonight to nail down the extension date.
That certainly looks to be the way things are going despite all the "for show" comments made by officials over the past week, but let's see how things play out today before settling on the narrative above. After all, stranger things have happened in this whole Brexit ordeal.
