Today PM Theresa May heads to Berlin and Paris to sell her request for an article 50 Brexit delay to 30 June 2019.
The two meetings are extremely important preparations ahead of the crunch extra summit of EU leaders on Wednesday.
Risking a possible renewed leadership challenge from furious Brexit-supporting backbenchers, the prime minister will ask Angela Merkel and Emmanuel Macron to throw their weight behind a plan to delay Brexit until June.
The PM will argue that she can deliver an agreement with Labour to seal a final leave deal.
Her mission comes after parliament last night passed the Cooper-Letwin bill which legally binds May to seek a delay.
However, Britain could still crash out of the EU on Friday if not all 27 EU leaders agree on an extension in Brussels on Wednesday.

The US Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen, who enforced some of President Donald Trump’s controversial border policies, has resigned.
Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Kevin McAleenan – a very competent Customs Leader who I have met many times – will replace her temporarily.
Ms. Nielsen was responsible for the proposed border wall with Mexico and the separation of migrant families.
Her resignation came after the president indicated he wanted to follow a “tougher” immigration policy.
