A German MEP, Manfred Weber, leader of the Christian Democrats says Theresa May's populist approach is pandering to UKIP voters and it will be a disaster for the UK (HERE). He says EU leaders are hardening their stance against the UK.
In a sign of the unity over Brexit in the other 27 national capitals, EU President Donald Tusk said last week that Britain faces a choice between a “hard Brexit” or “no Brexit” and that it’s time May realised the withdrawal “will be painful for Britons.” Weber echoed the remarks about the economic consequences for the U.K., including its role as a leading banking center.
“There are a lot of friends who think already about how we can benefit economically from this development -- about the financial sector, how many companies will leave,” he said. “There are debates going on in this direction.”
As I have said before, our friends have now become our competitors. What did we expect?
