The EU has repeatedly stressed that Michel Barnier, and his team, are negotiating on behalf of the EU27.
Why does May repeatedly attempt to appeal to the individual leaders?
(Especially forlorn with Merkel, while May's MEPs remain in a euro-grouping with those of the AfD).

Pretty standard negotiating tactic when you're on the back foot. Appeal to individuals in the hope they'll stand up for you when the group meets. Can see why she is doing it. I'd be very surprised if she wasn't doing it.
