He hasn't been excluded. He is not there by his own accord.

He is in the House of Commons doing Prime Ministers Questions.
//Why would he be involved anyway ? //

Because we're still a member of the EU?

Looks like an Exclusion to me
I guess they think he is on the opposite side of the table trying to get the most from for the UK from the EU; whilst this meeting could be to discuss how to treat the UK, and how much they can screw us without encouraging multiple nations to get out while they can.
I wonder if it's legal within the EU rules to exclude one member state from a meeting of all the others? Sounds a bit dicey to me.
Apologies. I thought the question was referring to todays EU meeting, which he is obviously not attending due to his Prime Minister duties.

// Dear colleagues,
I have no doubt that due to the negative outcome of the UK referendum we will mostly need to devote our European Council to a discussion on its political consequences. It is my intention to ensure that we have sufficient space to debate both with Prime Minister Cameron, and then separately with the 27 Heads of State or Government.
On Wednesday the 27 Heads of State or Government will meet informally to discuss the political and practical implications of ‘Brexit’. First of all, we will discuss the so called ‘divorce process’ as described in Art. 50 of the Treaty. And secondly, we will start a discussion on the future of the European Union with 27 Member States.

It is an informal gathering rather than a special meeting. Still not convinced that it is a snubb intended as an insult, or whether Cameron communicated to them that he was unavailable because of PMQs so they have met without him.
We have said we dont want in. They are looking at post Brexit EU so why should he be there?

Are we inviting Tusk to our meetings ?
because UK is still a member of the EU and heis the prime minister

Logic has not been a great mover in this debate
No informal discussions before Art 50 is activated and there they are -discussing informally themselves before Art 50

Jean Claude Plonker saying - art 50 has been activated because he was watching the television and he saw the result was Brexit
( excuse me ! did he really say that ? )
