Prime Minister Theresa May’s leadership is hanging by a thread as she faces a no confidence vote tonight over her Brexit deal. But the situation is just as serious abroad. Emmanuel Macron is under the same threat after the Paris riots laid bare his complete loss of control over France. Similar demonstrations have already spiralled out of control to other parts of Europe, with yellow vest-inspired riots raging in Belgium and Holland earlier in December.
Meanwhile, Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel is currently steering a minority government, that risks crashing at any time, following a row over migration.
Elsewhere in Poland, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and Law and Justice (PiS) party leader is keen to stick it to the EU by calling a vote of confidence in his own government.
All eyes were on the UK this morning when it emerged 48 MPs had submitted the letters needed to trigger a vote of no confidence in Mrs May’s leadership after she halted a Commons vote on her Brexit deal.
In a speech outside Downing Street, Theresa May stood defiant and vowed to fight on with “everything I’ve got”.
The EU quickly threw its weight behind the Tory leader with Commission spokeswoman Margaritas Schinas saying Mrs May had done a good job of “managing a very difficult process”.
She said: “The Commission will not comment on the internal politics of the United Kingdom and not least the Conservative party, but President Juncker has on many occasions expressed his support for the prime minister May and her role in managing a very difficult process.”
Just hours later EU poster boy Emmanuel Macron was dealt a major blow after it emerged the French President faces a vote of no confidence of his on in parliament on Thursday amid nationwide anger, which has seen violent riots across the country.
Leftist MEPs said Thursday’s vote is the result of 18 months of fiscal injustice and called on the French president to “radically change direction”.
