2) Those negotiations have been going on this weekend and were expected to conclude Tuesday this week. Let’s see
3) EU sources spelling out clearly the PM’s visit would be to finalise the political declaration NOT to re-open the withdrawal deal approved last week by the cabinet
4) Despite political turmoil in U.K. the EU intends the deal the deal #Brexit summit between EU leaders and the PM to go ahead unless she is kicked out of her job or she suddenly politically denounced the divorce deal she has been trying to sell
5) The PM needs a promising- sounding declaration on the post Brexit EU-U.K. relationship to help her sell the unpopular withdrawal agreement back home. That is why the visit to Brussels this week is important
