David Cameron was humiliated as Angela Merkel slapped down his bid to block Jean-Claude Juncker from Europe’s top job.
The German Chancellor dismissed Mr Cameron’s “threat” that Britain could leave the EU if arch-federalist Mr Juncker becomes president of the European Commission.
“I am for Jean-Claude Juncker ,” a defiant Mrs Merkel said at a summit of European leaders in Sweden.
As Mr Cameron looked on, she added: “We act in a European spirit. Threats are not part and parcel of that spirit. That’s not how we usually proceed.”
Her words represent a major setback for the Tory PM, who had hoped to build support for his opposition to the appointment of Mr Juncker at the four-way summit in Harpsund.
