Jean-Claude Juncker has admitted that the leak of his discussions with Theresa May during a Downing Street dinner was a "serious mistake".

The President of the European Commission insisted he was not responsible for the scathing account of his meeting with Mrs May, which was leaked to a Germany newspaper.

The Prime Minister subsequently accused the EU of trying to interfere in the General Election and “run over us” in Brexit talks.

The Prime Minister accused European politicians and officials of plotting to “deliberately affect” the result of next month’s poll by issuing “threats” against Britain.
