Theresa May - wielding her handbag - was seen locked in a tense standoff with the EU commission chief as the second day of the summit gets under way in Brussels. Although the sound was switched off, TV cameras caught the pair exchanging what looked to be heated words for at least a minute. Mrs May took the Eurocrat to task for his comments, saying: 'You called me nebulous. Yes you did!' Mr Juncker, who had one hand on Mrs May's arm, looked to be trying to soothe her anger by denying making the jibe. Speaking at a press conference at the close of the summit this afternoon, the premier admitted they had a 'robust' exchange. She said she had been 'crystal clear' with other leaders about what she needed to get to win support for the Brexit deal. The clash, which evoked memories of Margaret Thatcher's 'handbagging' of EU leaders to secure Britain's rebate in 1984, came after Mrs May's latest appeal for 'legally binding' assurances over the Irish border backstop to save her Brexit deal fell flat.
