The EU has admitted Britain does need an 'emergency brake' on migrants claiming benefits in what No 10 has declared is a 'significant breakthrough' in David Cameron's renegotiation.
British officials were sent to Brussels today to iron out the details of how the deal will work and European Council President Donald Tusk is expected to publish an outline deal as soon as tomorrow.
But Leave campaigners today furiously insisted Downing Street was orchestrating a fake row over the details after Mr Tusk last night dramatically left a working dinner with Mr Cameron by declaring there was 'no deal'.

Mr Tusk said another 24 hours of 'intensive' work was needed to finalise the outline of a deal to be tabled at the EU Summit on February 18 and 19.
The document had been due to be published today but it was pushed back by Brussels following last night's talks.
Despite the apparent setback, a Number 10 spokesman said 'much progress has been made' since the PM scrapped a trip on Friday to Scandinavia in favour of talks with European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker and European Parliament president Martin Schulz.
He said: 'The Commission have tabled a text making clear that the UK's current circumstances meet the criteria for triggering the emergency brake.
'This is a significant breakthrough, meaning the Prime Minister can deliver on his commitment to restrict in work benefits to EU migrants for four years.'
