european leaders: Another week, another crunch moment for Theresa May as she attempts to sell Brexit to her party, the country and European leaders, according to The Guardian. Under pressure from recalcitrant elements in the cabinet and backbenchers, the prime minister will take the unusual step today of going before MPs in the Commons to say that she is 95% of the way towards securing a workable deal. I'm Martin Farrer and these are the top stories you need to be across this Monday am. Until now she has tried to keep details secret but she will confirm negotiations have reached an agreement with the EU on Gibraltar, the UK's military base in Cyprus and a mechanism for resolving future disputes. The Brexit secretary, Dominic Raab, dismissed the febrile talk yesterday and said it was the time to play for the team to secure a good deal. The move comes after she was berated for saying last week that she was open to extending the post-Brexit transition period, sparking more leadership speculation.
