David Cameron is meeting EU leaders in Brussels today for the first time since the EU referendum. At the summit meeting he was expected to present the next steps forward in the so-called “divorce process.” But now, as a lame duck, having announced his resignation, is there anything he can actually present or propose to his fellow EU leaders? Here is what you need about today’s EU summit meeting:

– David Cameron has few allies in the negotiation room. Most EU leaders want the exit negotiations to start swiftly. German Chancellor Angela Merkel is one of the few who called for patience, along with the Netherlands’ Mark Rutte.

– Speculation on a possible second referendum or on simply remaining an EU member state are not appreciated in Brussels. “Any delay would unnecessarily prolong uncertainty,” said European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker.

– Cameron is highly unlikely to formally request to leave the European Union on this Brussels visit. Although fellow EU leaders showed understanding due to the current political leadership vacuum in the UK, they insist on the formal notification – the activation of Article 50 – before any negotiations on the UK’s exit deal can start.

– Euroskeptic figurehead Nigel Farage made one of his comparatively rare Brussels appearances before the summit, striking his trademark tone devoid of diplomacy. Farage told the European Parliament that the UK would not be the last country to leave the bloc, and elicited boos when he said most members of the chamber had “never had a proper job.”

– The heads of states and governments await clarification by David Cameron on how to move forward.
