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

according to the paper, the prime minister and the eu commission president, jean—claude juncker, seenfore the dinner, clashed over the exit bill britain must pay, the structure of the talks, and the prospects of a quick trade deal. apparently jean—claude juncker left the dinner ten times more sceptical than he was beforehand, and he found theresa may showed no to compromise. the prime minister was also in lancashire today, on the stump in trying to stamp out talk of a fracture with brussels. is the account of the meeting true, and has brexit off the rails before the talks have even started ? rails before the talks have even started? i have to say that from what i have seen this account i think it is brussels gossip. and just look at what the european commission themselves said immediately after dinner took place, which was that the talks had been constructive. but describing the account of acrimony and division between britain and the eu as brussels gossip is not the same as dismissing it as nonsense. she and jean—claude juncker clearly don't see eye to eye. may day means workers' sol
