Despite the Belgian's attitude, I wouldn't be surprised if the highest levels have conspired to force a deal that is so bad it must either be rejected with terrible consequences, or if accepted has the EU holding all the cards indefinitely with UK as a broke and powerless vassal; either way, with a second referendum by hook and crook and whatever other means, which would leave an almighty political and legal quagmire for a decade or more, and which the people are likely to vote Remain simply out of fear and fatigue.
They don't want us out, but if we are to leave then it will be on their terms which effectively means castration. Our mates, eh?
