THE SUN ON SUNDAY SAYS

Britain will be humiliated by Jean-Claude Juncker no more — come March we will have a clean-break Brexit

This week Eurocrats proved they’d rather cut their nose off to spite their face — we don't need a deal with the EU

FINALLY, some concrete planning for a clean-break Brexit.

This week the jumped-up bureaucrats at the top of the Brussels tree proved that they simply aren’t interested in negotiating a good deal, for us or for them.

They’d rather cut their nose off to spite their face, putting their ideological project ahead of the interests of their citizens.

Even national leaders seem more interested in trying to trap us into an undemocratic second referendum than ensuring their businesses can freely trade with the fifth-largest economy in the world.

The way Jean-Claude Juncker patronised the PM this week was an utter disgrace.

We will be humiliated no more.

When the clock strikes 11pm on March 29th next year, we WILL leave the European Union.

And we must put every penny and pound we can into ensuring that our exit is as smooth as possible.

The Brussels beast has wormed its way into just about every one of our institutions. Getting rid of it is going to take some work.

But the predictions of apocalyptic job losses? Instant recession? We’ve heard the doomsday predictions before.

 Believe in Britain and we have nothing to fear come 29 March 2019

Wrong then, wrong now.

There is one thing we are sure of, though, never more so than this week.

If we believe in ourselves we have nothing to fear.

Support our brave troops

TOO many of our brave Armed Forces find themselves in tough times when they get back to Civvy Street.

So the NHS is dead right to prioritise their care — especially their mental health.

Veterans have put their lives on the line for us and it’s only right that we put everything we’ve got into giving back to them.

Ensuring they are in good shape, in body and brain, will help our brave boys and girls find jobs, homes and families.

It will go a long way to fixing the national disgrace of homeless ex-soldiers.

They are the best of us. Britain must take care of them.

Gareth's waistcoat of arms

GARETH Southgate is richly deserving of an honour.

 Gareth Southgate deserves an honour as much for what he does off the pitch as he ever did playing for, or managing, England

And it’s as much for what he does off the pitch as he ever did playing for, or managing, England.

He is generous with his time for charities, a fine example for youngsters, and is one of the most eloquent champions of our brilliant, diverse, modern Britain.

Here’s to you, Gareth. And here’s to hoping we do even better in our next semi-final.
