Juncker takes to stage with dance moves

European Commission president Jean-claude Juncker appeared to mock Theresa May when he performed a little dance while preparing to give a speech in Brussels.

Mrs May surprised delegates at last week’s Conservative Party conference in Birmingham when she shimmied on stage for her big keynote speech to the tune of Abba’s Dancing Queen.

And a grinning Mr Juncker won laughter and applause from his audience when he appeared to mimic her dance steps as he came to the lectern for a speech to the EU Week of Regions and Cities.

Mr Juncker’s spokesman Margaritis Schinas later insisted the Commission president had “great respect” for Mrs May. He said that the Commission president’s respect for the Prime Minister was “repeatedly stated in public and demonstrated in practice” and that the dance moves were “not directed at anyone”.
