The Commission President’s visit to London today is striking because her comments, ostensibly aimed at HMG, are actually a challenge to the EU Council. It can’t be repeated often enough that the Council, made up of Member States’ heads of government, has not given the Commission a mandate or goals for Phase Two – so the President’s effort today to set out the EU27’s red lines is really an attempt to grab control over the Brexit process. And it shows she has not managed to do so yet.
