the reports of those disagreements between theresa may and jean—claude juncker, the european commissionnt, appeared in the german newspaper, the frankfurter allgemeine. the journalist who wrote the story, thomas gutschker, says he stands by it. the eu commission has confirmed my reporting, though not on the record. but numerous colleagues have been asking them for confirmation. and i see they have confirmed it. so the problem here may be that the dinner went badly because there was a misunderstanding between the interlocutors. in that respect, it shouldn't come as a surprise that theresa may walked away with a different understanding or impression from that dinner. obviously, that was the case forjean—claude juncker as well. why did your sources feel they had to leak this to you now? one would have to ask them. i think it conveys a sense of frustration. there has been this dinner. juncker conveyed his frustration when he left. i think he felt that he didn't manage to get his message across to theresa may. that is why after that meeting, he called the german chancellor angela merkel and
