Plastered again, Mr Juncker?
THEY‘VE fallen out before – although never more than an ugly war of words.
The way Jean-Claude Juncker showed Theresa May an injury to his left cheek last night it seemed they really might have come to blows this time.
However, the EU Commission head was simply pointing out where he had cut himself as a result of a shaving accident.
‘You will have seen that I have on the side of my face the outcome of an unfortunate slip this morning,’ he said.
‘I don’t want you to think Mrs May is responsible for this injury on my face.’ At times, the pair have endured a frosty relationship during Brexit talks.
Last December Mrs May confronted Mr Juncker after he was accused of branding her ‘nebulous’.
Mr Juncker insisted they’d made up and Mrs May even kissed him. He claimed he had used the word ‘nebulous’ to describe the Brexit debate in Britain generally.
The leaders were last night meeting in Brussels for more Brexit negotiations.
