The European Commission boss made a smutty innuendo about the PM as he addressed MEPs today - as she faces a make or break day over Brexit back in London
JEAN Claude Juncker today made a tasteless joke about Theresa May as she fought for her political life to save Brexit.
The EU Commission boss told MPs he "didn't sleep much last night because of Mrs May" after the pair were locked in late night talks in Strasbourg yesterday.
"I'll let you in on a secret," he told MEPs earlier.
But he did say his sleep was "long enough to be able to dream of Slovakia".
Talks finally broke up just before midnight in France yesterday. The pair then went on to go and do a press conference to waiting reporters over what they'd signed up to.
Mrs May managed to get the bloc to sign up to legally binding tweaks to the deal, and put out a statement saying the UK could try and pull out of the hated backstop if we got trapped.
Mr Juncker warned MPs the concessions were MPs' "last chance" to pass a deal and said there would be no further changes at all.
"I would therefore like British MPs to support the measures, which are both British and European and which have taken form in agreed texts, an agreement at EU level."
Mr Juncker's comments came as the PM is fighting desperately to save her fledging deal.
She turned up this afternoon with a croaky voice after the late night talks.
"You should hear Jean Claude Juncker!" she joked.
The clearly tired PM begged MPs to get behind the deal and said it was the choice between this and perhaps no Brexit at all.
But her Tories aren't convinced that this will be enough to stop them get onside, and make sure we can get out of the backstop if the EU tried to keep us in.
Now it looks likely that MPs could vote against a No Deal Brexit tomorrow - and vote to extend Article 50 to buy more time to figure out what to do.
