It’s time the EU experienced Theresa May’s ‘difficult’ side - EXPRESS COMMENT
THE Prime Minister is doing a stalwart job under extremely difficult circumstances, but the MPs urging Mrs May to get tough in her negotiations with Brussels are absolutely right.
GETTY
It is clear that the EU wishes to extract every drop of blood out of us that they can, punish us for our presumption in leaving their bureaucratically bloated institution and delay matters in every way possible in an attempt to get us to cough up further billions of pounds.
It will not do.
The Prime Minister has been courteous in her dealings with the political pygmies and has negotiated her way through one unseen pitfall after another, the latest being the border with Ireland.
After a nightmarish period her personal ratings remain strong: the public clearly respects this principled woman who, unlike anyone at all on the other side of the House is doing her job with a sense of duty about what is right for the UK.
