Government PR deliberately lying to the Press is an immediate resignation issue. They don’t tell outright lies over trivial matters like the timing of statements.

Obviously, they wouldn’t tell us this!

The EU is nothing if not pragmatic, when it comes to the crunch. Think about it - No Deal isn’t actually No Deal. It’s a series of pragmatic mini-deals, made wherever it’s essential to keep things moving. If “The” deal won’t fly, this is the next best thing. The alternative is a EU election campaign that will be overshadowed by Brexit. I’m certain they don’t want that any more than May does.
