Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! a deal over Brexit: EU’s Abba-themed response to May’s speech

Abba mania broke out at the European Commission’s headquarters on Thursday after Theresa May turned dancing queen at Conservative conference.

As the prime minister faced her “Waterloo” moment, chief Commission spokesperson Margaritis Schinas was asked whether they would now “take a chance on May.”

“Breaking up is never easy,” replied Schinas, before promising that Brexit wouldn’t be a case of “winner takes it all.”

When all is said and done, it will probably all come down to money, money, money. But that’s the name of the game.
