The UK's negotiating position has been misrepresented by European press says May

May out with some comments after speaking to the Queen about the dissolution of Parliament

  • Over the past few days, the UK's Brexit negotiating position has been misrepresented in European press

  • Events of the past few days have shown whatever our wishes, there are some in Brussels who do not want talks to succeed

  • Whoever wins on 8th June will have an overriding task of getting the best deal for Britain from Brexit

  • This misrepresentation was timed to affect the election outcome

  • Britain will not get the right deal if we have the drift and division of a hung parliament

She's sounding out a warning to all parties here. The first two comments may be directed in Europe's direction but there will be an underlying warning for those in the UK too. Both the press and MP's here have been accused of doing the same thing.

And on a side note, there's a Kantar poll out on the latest election numbers;

  • Cons 48% vs 46% 25th April
  • Lab 24% unch

The quid has taken a dip to 1.2885-ish but it looks to be more joy led than anything else.
