Today, Theresa May went as far as any British leader could go to accommodate Brussels, offering money, acceptance of EU regulations and other one-sided concessions. She was rebuffed and trolled online by Donald Tusk - and some UK Remainers cheered. Now watch Leave support harden.
A small thing, perhaps, but using a picture of cake to insult a diabetic struck me as unkind as well as uncouth, undignified and ungallant.
Absurd propaganda about how the EU must “stick to its rules” over Brexit. When does it ever “stick to its rules”? Over the deficits? The bailouts? The reruns of referendums it doesn’t like? The Selmayr appointment? 1/2..
It isn't “sticking to its rules” over Brexit either. It won't offer either Norway (it insists on the customs union) or Canada (it insists on hiving off Northern Ireland). It is violating its own rules to be punitive. Its hostility makes future friendship hard to imagine. 2/2
