The UK Times quoted an excerpt from the report, citing senior the European Union (EU officials and diplomats, as saying that the EU is reportedly planning for a long extension.

The excerpt read: “Martin Selmayr, the EU's top civil servant and one of the key figures in recent Brexit talks, backs a delay until March next year or even longer, according to sources. During a briefing to European ambassadors yesterday he said that an extension would have to be a "one-off" and could be short if Theresa May gets the withdrawal agreement through the Commons, or long enough for "UK elections and a new government" if she fails.”
