Theresa May and the EU commission president had a ‘robust’ showdown in the full glare of cameras as she demanded to know why he had branded her ‘nebulous’ and ‘imprecise’ in a late-night press conference. But as the summit in Brussels drew to a close this evening, Mr Juncker (pictured right) insisted Mrs May is a ‘great friend’ and the incident was down to a misunderstanding. ‘I did not refer to her but to the overall state of the debate in Britain,’ he said. ‘I was following the debate in the House and I cannot see where the British Parliament is heading at.’ To laughter from journalists, Mr Juncker said: ‘In the course of the morning, after having checked what I said yesterday night, she was kissing me’. EU council chief Donald Tusk also intervened to jibe that the leaders of the bloc had treated Mrs May with ‘greater respect and empathy than some British MPs’. Earlier, Mrs May evoked memories of Margaret Thatcher as she wielded her handbag while berating Mr Juncker (left). Although the sound was switched off, TV cameras caught the pair exchanging what looked to be heated words for at least a minute. Mrs May took the Eurocrat to task for comments delivered to reporters in the early hours of this morning, saying: ‘You called me nebulous. Yes you did!’
