EUROPE – Brussels was accused last night of ‘hurtling at breakneck speed’ towards becoming a post-Brexit superstate after the EU set out plans for its own Chancellor of the Exchequer. Jean-Claude Juncker’s European Commission has signed off a new ‘agenda for a more united and stronger’ Europe. It includes a new European Union finance supremo able to go into member states and make ‘structural reforms’ to their domestic budgets – and accelerates Brussels’ timetable for closer integration. The decision was last night greeted by Brexiteers as vindication for the UK’s Leave vote.
