Britain's transition through Brexit will 'probably' take a year longer than expected, Jean-Claude Juncker (bottom left at a press conference today) said today despite Tories erupting in fury at the idea of being kept under EU rules. The EU Commission President said the idea of an even longer transition period - which is supposed to expire on December 31, 2020 - was on offer to Britain to help deliver a free trade deal. Theresa May (top at the conclusion of today's summit) insisted at the end of the latest summit failure Britain was not asking for a longer transition after Brexit day in March but admitted there could be a mechanism to extend it for a few months. Endorsing the plan in a speech last night saw new calls for Mrs May to quit today, with critics branding the idea 'mad' amid claims it could cost Britain an extra £15billion in EU subscription fees. Mr Juncker said it was 'a good idea' and added 'this prolongation of the transition period probably will happen.' German Chancellor Angela Merkel (bottom right in Brussels) said Mrs May's much-trumpeted speech to leaders last night had left her 'neither more pessimistic nor more optimistic'.
