The Times hope for help from Macron

In todays’ newspaper, The Times – columnist Philip Colllins – writes that the French president, who meets May today, is best placed to save the Chequers plan.

Collins says in the article;

“In a sweet tweet this week, after he got her nationality wrong in conversations with the Chinese, Jeremy Hunt, the foreign secretary, was pictured in Paris buying flowers for his wife. He was in Paris on Tuesday to meet his French counterpart, Jean-Yves Le Drian. Yesterday, Dominic Raab, the Brexit secretary, met the French Europe minister, Nathalie Loiseau. Today, the prime minister will cut short her Italian holiday to take up President Macron’s invitation to join him at his coastal retreat, Fort de Brégançon”.

“In the still-playing farce of Britain’s departure from the European Union, the French, masters of the genre, have the chance to take back control. Somebody needs to, because Britain has stumbled into a summer shambles”.
