Brexit news - live: EU leaders agree to extend Article 50 until end of October

Here’s the interview with Sophie In’t Veld, deputy to EU negotiator Guy Verhofstadt, in which she discusses the potential for British MEPs to cause a whole load of trouble in the months ahead.

Foreign secretary Jeremy Hunt has appeared on ITV’s Peston to warn that a general election would be disastrous for the Tories.

The EU 27 are now back in discussions about the length of the extension it will offer the UK. The Telegraph’s Peter Foster says France is now “isolated” in arguing for only a short delay.

Could a Halloween Brexit deadline now be on the cards? Some, including the FT’s Mehreen Khan, now reporting that EU leaders are discussing a compromise extension of 31 October.

It’s official. Reuters are reporting that EU leaders have now agreed an extension until 31 October, with a further review in June.

Theresa May has been summoned to meet European Council president Donald Tusk to be told of her country’s fate: a medium-term extension.

Sky News’ Lewis Goodall has suggested the new deadline does, in theory, still allow for a second referendum.

Some supporters of a second referendum sounding pretty downbeat about the chances of a Final Say vote following the EU decision to allow Britain to delay its departure until Halloween.

As our Europe correspondent Jon Stone points out, the new Halloween Brexit date is significant for all sorts of historical reasons.
