UK PM May Spokesman: May Is Currently Updating Cabinet On State Of Brexit Negotiations By Teleconference

Not likely more ministers will leave. Those who want to leave have left. The new deal currently 'agreed' cannot be worst than the draft that caused those rebel to resign. The Withdrawal part has not changed because according to May, that is not being discussed and have been agreed. It is the political declaration part that is being negotiated now. If it is worst, might as well stick to the old draft.

Spain stand on the Gibraltar is just a political declaration. Just that. They will not push that issue too much. Just an acknowledgement (and not a rejection) of their political declaration will probably satisfy the government (who is obliged to say something with regard to the historical claim on Gibraltar). Nobody in Spain would be insane to do something to claim back Gibraltar as it will involve military conflict between EU and UK which is practically improbable.

Merkel cancel her trip to Brussel. A real risk if nothing is agreed. But now the agreement is pretty much agreed except the Gibraltar and a few things. I don't know how the voting of EU council operate upon but I assume it is based upon majority vote system where if there is a majority vote (whether 50% or 75%), it will pass. Spain is just one out of 27 vote. 26 out of 27 is still 96% majority. For 75% majority, you need 7 countries to vote down the agreement. Can we find today 7 countries who will oppose the agreement? The risk is pretty low.

Found the answer:-
EU Official : Can Confirm Issues Of Fisheries, Gibraltar Still Need To Be Resolved Before Sunday

Ok. Got you.
Check on Spain and Gibraltar.
Two more points to go!

Good summary. Yes the Political Agreement is passed on a consensus 'vote' (basically a show of hands). What this actually also means is that any veto is not counted into the 'vote'. So it's 99% there in reality.

Three more news to come:
UK: ministers leave
Spain: Can't accept Gibraltar part
Germany: Merkel cancels her trip to BXL on Sunday.

For Information

1. Agreement for Withdrawal Agreement will at this stage be on a Qualified Majority Basis.

2. Merkels threat not to attend Sundays meeting is as much to pressurise other EU states to ease back on criticisms as to pressurise UK.
