EU’s Verhofstadt: “We are open to change the Political Declaration” - Twitter

The European Parliament's Brexit coordinator Guy Verhofstadt was on the wires last minutes, via Twitter, with the key quotes noted below.

“We are open to change the Political Declaration. First of all, by turning it into a more binding agreement between the EU and the UK. Secondly, by creating a deeper and broader relationship in the interest of both Britain and the European Union. #Brexit #EPlenary”

“After the negative votes of the last weeks, on Monday the House of Commons finally voted in favour of something: Mr Letwin's amendment. My hope? After more than two years, this is the start of a cross-party cooperation to break the deadlock. #Brexit #Eplenary”
