re: [Update] The UK votes to leave the EU

David Cameron is in talks in Brussels over a deal to allow Britain to curb in-work benefits for migrants - with the permission of other EU nations.

The current idea would be that Britain could initiate a request for this emergency brake for up to four years if it could prove Britain's social and welfare system is under excessive strain from immigration.

But that brake would have to be approved by the majority of other EU member states - and of course, right from the beginning, they have been opposed to suspending benefits for other EU migrants.
With the permission of other EU nations? Oh right, I can see how that's likely to work very well.
