Description

The rules of the EU have been manipulated to give Theresa May an unfair and uphill battle to strike a fair Brexit rule, according to the former Finnish Prime Minister.Alexander Stubb, the former Finnish prime minister, said there are a number of EU bureaucrats who "just want to punish" Britain for standing up to the bloc.This comes after David Davis told the BBC there had been a "deliberately misleading briefing" by the European Commission about the Downing Street dinner last week. Mr Stubb told the BBC Today Programme this was a "silly leak" and warned Juncker and his allies to "learn their lesson" before acting out again. He then warned that the EU elite deliberately stacked the odds against Theresa May getting a good deal out of the Brexit talks.
