Just last week Donald Tusk took to social media to claim that the EU’s offer to the UK a ‘Canada+++’ deal was a mark of respect. Only the EU council leader failed to find space in his tweet to make clear that this offer only applied to Great Britain – not Northern Ireland.
Now it’s Jean-Claude Juncker’s turn to show how he pays the UK respect. In a speech to the Committee of the Regions, the European Commission president appeared to do his best impression of Theresa May’s Dancing Queen turn at conference:
Is this @JunckerEU mocking @theresa_may 's Abba dance at a speech to the Committee of the Regions?
I am saying yes. What say you @MargSchinas or @Mina_Andreeva ? pic.twitter.com/qyzHddY3oJ
