Tusk says EU will 'not renegotiate the deal'
Donald Tusk, the president of the European council, has just posted this on Twitter. He says the EU will not “renegotiate the deal”.
But it will discuss what it can do “to facilitate UK ratification”, he says. That means, I think, “do what it can do help May win the vote”.

I cannot see May winning a delayed vote with the backstop still in it. The EU might throw TM a few small bones but I can't see the backstop being pulled or significantly watered down.
It would be a major concession if the EU were willing to give the UK an unconditional "out" from the BS so I cannot see this happening. It would require the EU to trust in the good faith of future Governments not to abuse such an option.
