Britain fully ready to face Brussels as the PM holds call
talks with the EU president Jean-Claude Juncker together with Michael Barnier
in Downing Street.
During the meeting issues such as the huge £50 billion
divorce bill, Span’s threat to veto on the future of Gilbralter would be top on
the agenda.
Despite the fact the Mrs May has had several clashes with Mr
Juncker, this meeting would be seen as the first of its kind with Barnier, who
is tagged as "the most dangerous man in Europe".
The greatest quarrel during the meeting is said to be
Barnier’s demand for the £50bn bill for exiting the bloc.
Recall how the French political leader threatened to punish
the UK last month, if the controversial money is not paid. Also for the UK to
have a good deal in the negotiations, it may continue to pay into the EU’s
budget till 2020.
And which is currently being placed on the table by UK’s
Brexit negotiators, and may force the UK to backtrack on its hard Brexit stance
in order to have good political relationship with Brussels.
That meeting and the PMQ may likely be the last prior to the
June 8 snap general election in the UK.
The Labour party released a statement after Sir Keir Starmer
unveiled a fresh Labour strategy to Brexit saying that Corbyn and Cabinet
Secretary Sir Jeremy Heywood had met "to discuss the transition to
government if Labour wins the General Election".
However, as the campaign progresses, the Labour party is beginning
to shift its attention from Brexit to the NHS.
However, the Liberal Democrats will attempt to keep up the
pressure on Brexit when leader Tim Farron attempts to woo business leaders in
Tory-held St Albans.
"My message to business is this - dump the
Tories," he will say. "Every penny you give them will hurt you; you
are funding your own funeral."
"With this disastrous hard Brexit the Government is
hurting businesses, both big and small, costing jobs and hitting
families."
