So says govt spokesman Seibert as the debates on the next EU Commission president continue

  • Chancellor Merkel is taking the opposition to the nomination very seriously
  • Germany believes UK belongs in the EU

I posted on this at the w-e here and noted that Merkel was now a supporter of Juncker’s bid having at first cast her own doubts which the FT reported last week here ( possibly gated but available on free sub)

This one will run for a while yet
