. @HeathrowAirport has found the perfect way of destroying their business.
They are the only airport I know where everyone needs their individual boarding cards - penalising families into a long queue (1/2)

This really is outrageous and everyone should be mad about it. He shouldn’t have just been “spared jail”, he shouldn’t have been prosecuted at all. thenational.scot/news/200319…

People keep saying that Britain has a “noble tradition” of taking in refugees, citing the kindertransport as proof. Simon Heffer did it again on Radio 4 this morning. But here’s the problem.

Those final results, expressed as % change from 2015, are remarkable:
UKIP: -82%
Tories: -24%
Labour: -4%
Lib Dem: +109%
Green: +273%
The notion that Tories shed seats because “people just want them to get on with Brexit” doesn’t fly when you look at where those seats went.

Probably the pottiest front page today. Suggesting that local elections that saw the LDs with their best result in decades as being sending a pro-Brexit message. Eh?

#Brexit fighting talk from the man who runs the @EU_Commission. Politicians who have constituencies and economies to run are slightly more realistic about the no-deal preparations.

Question. Did Martin Selmayr just call the Polish foreign minister a 'nobody'?

#article50 ruling is out: UK is free to unilaterally revoke the notification of its intention to withdraw from the EU

The agreement on #Gibraltar reached today within the framework of the #Brexit negotiations is highly positive for #Spain and the most important one since the #Utrecht Treaty of 1713. I want to personally thank the Secretary of State for the #EU, our Permanent Representation (1/2)

Suspect some MPs have not yet realised what May has agreed to here...
Spain got what it wanted: letter from UK confirming legal interpretation assets.publishing.service.go… + strong statement to be endorsed by EU27 tomorrow

I fear this is wishful reading of the Gibraltar deal. EU spells out that Gibraltar will NOT be covered by future relationship agreement (unless Spain agrees). And PM will endorse deal with this caveat tomorrow.
Top EU officials worked v late to solve the Gibraltar stuff. The solution has 4 parts, including a letter from @eucopresident and @JunckerEU to Spanish PM. There’s also a document confirming Spain has a say over the final agreement (which all EU27 have, really).

4. We show that in case Macron makes a decent showing with En Marche and joins forces with ALDE, this En Marche - ALDE group would be the kingmaker in the new European Parliament

3. @HanburyStrategy polling analysis shows that grand coalition of @EPP and @TheProgressives would not have a majority in the next European Parliament (under current polling)

Tomorrow’s front pages show how changing of the top brass at the big tabloids is already having an impact. Can’t imagine the Mail or Express running those front pages a few months ago #tomorrowspaperstoday

This is wholly speculative, but the shift in UK public opinion against #Brexit is nonetheless significant bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
