The European Court of Justice in Luxembourg

RTÉ reports:

The European Union’s top court has ruled that the British government may unilaterally reverse its decision to leave the bloc, without consulting the other member states.

In an emergency judgment delivered just a day before the British parliament is due to vote on a Brexit deal agreed with the EU by Prime Minister Theresa May, the Court of Justice said:”The United Kingdom is free to revoke unilaterally the notification of its intention to withdraw from the EU.”

Spanish PM renews veto threat against draft Brexit deal (FT)

Monday: Rock Throwing

Spain has threatened to withdraw support for the draft Brexit divorce deal if its Gibraltar “veto” does not apply to a future trade deal between the UK and the EU.

Josep Borrell, Spain’s foreign minister, warned that both sides should prepare for “last-minute surprises” as splits appeared among EU member states over the in-principle deal agreed with the UK last week by Michel Barnier, the EU’s chief negotiator.

“We want to make sure the interpretation of this text is clear and shows that what’s being negotiated between the EU and the UK does not apply to Gibraltar,” said Mr Borrell.

This afternoon.

On Bloomberg.

A five-minute interview with Digicel Group Chairman Denis O’Brien who’s currently in Papua New Guinea.

He talks about Brexit, Britain’s Prime Minister Theresa May and the “terrific” job carried out by Tánaiste Simon Coveney on Brexit.

He says he reckons Ms May will lose parliamentary approval for the Brexit draft agreement and there will be a general election and then, after that, “we’re in no man’s land”.

Mr O’Brien also talks about Digicel’s bond swap and the possibility of asset sales.

And we wish him all the very best with that.

May’s deal is the best of a bad deal, says Digicel’s chairman (Bloomberg)
