EU warns that a new Prime Minister will not be able to change negotiated Brexit deal

The appointment of a new prime minister in the UK will not be able to change the Brexit deal negotiated by Theresa May, the EU Commission has confirmed.

A spokesperson for the EU’s executive said the leadership race to replace Ms May would “of course not change the parameters of what is on the table”.

When asked about a pledge from Boris Johnson, the favourite to succeed Theresa May, to withhold billions in liabilities owed to the European Union’s budget, the spokesman said: “Everybody knows what is on the table. What is on the table has been approved by all member states and the election of a new prime minister will not change the parameters. It came as several more Conservative candidates embarked on their efforts to become Tory leader by making speeches today.
