British Prime Minister reacts to Junckers unwholesome
comment over the hospitality he received from the PM at No 10, which was fully
paid for by British taxpayers. The unelected EU official was told by Mrs May to
exercise some patience.
The negotiating approach being made by the EU was supposedly
questioned by the PM, as an indication of her tough stance regarding free
movement and free trade post-Brexit.
To strengthen her position during the negotiation process,
the PM is looking forward to win the forthcoming general election next month.
She said: “First of all I would point out we don’t have a
Brexit deal on the table from Brussels.
“We have their negotiating guidelines, we have our
negotiating guidelines through the Article 50 letter and the Lancaster House
speech I gave on this issue in January.
“What matters sitting around that table is a strong Prime
Minister of the United Kingdom, with a strong mandate from the people of the
United Kingdom which will strengthen our negotiating hand to ensure we get that
possible deal.”
David Davis, the Brexit Secretary, in his statement also
included that: “Both sides are clear – we want these negotiations to be
conducted in the spirit of goodwill, sincere cooperation and with the aim of
establishing a close partnership between the UK and the EU going forward.
“But there is no doubt that these negotiations are the most
complex the UK has faced in our lifetimes. They will be tough and, at times,
even confrontational.”
The European Commission is currently making a strong demand
for Britain to pay £50billion Brexit bill to cover EU spending up until 2020. Also
the protection of the rights of EU citizens living in the UK is being demanded
by the EU leaders.
On the other hand it has been stated that EU citizens in the
UK will have more rights than are enjoyed by British citizens.
