Cameron agreed to the debates, and because Labour were so useless, it made the Liberals look good, and they gained enough support to force a coalition. TM has learned that lesson, so won't do them. McDonnell attended a rally, and was pictured in front of a Syrian and marxist (I think) flag which he then had to airbrush out, so is it surprising that the conservatives are "managing" TMs exposure a bit more carefully.
At the end of the day, it's just politics; stage management for the hoi poloi that can't think for themselves, and need to be carfeully spoonfed incase they try ad get their braincells working.
The EU is positively shatting themselves at the prospect of a Brexit that others might follow, and they are going to push up the divorce settlement hoping that when it gets knocked back, they'll still receive something. Unfortunately, none of them are man enough to admit they got the negotiations with Cameron wrong, and that if they made a special case for the UK on free movement etc, then we might backtrack a bit.
Walk away and let them panic; at the end of the day, they need as good a deal as we do (if not more so) and they need a divorce settlement as well. They are in a far weaker position than we are, and letting out closed meeting details shows they are not sure what pressure they can apply to her.

Clever move. Wonder what she will do for the encore
