Europe: a new UK prime minister will not change ‘parameters’ of Brexit



European commission officials today stated that the appointment of a new Prime Minister in the UK would in no way alter the “parameters” of the Brexit withdrawal deal.

it came as several more Conservative candidates embarked on their efforts to become Tory leader by making speeches today.

Andrea Leadsom, Matt Hancock have already delivered speeches and Rory Stewart is due to make his speech later today.

When asked about a pledge from Boris Johnson, the favourite to succeed Theresa May, to withhold billions in liabilities owed to the European Union’s budget, a European Commission spokesman said: “Everybody knows what is on the table. What is on the table has been approved by all member states and the election of a new prime minister will not change the parameters.”
