A row broke out over whether attempts should be made to persuade Britain to Remain in the EU as the heads of government met for European Council meeting in Brussels.

More seriously for the Brussels eurocrat attempts to bully Britain with a “unified” front from the other 27, furious infighting erupted over who should host the two EU agencies currently based in Britain.

An alleged attempt by France and Italy to stitch up the issue was met with anger from other member states.

As Theresa May arrived with a clear vision over what she hopes to achieve with Brexit, European Council President Donald Tusk opened up divisions in the EU with an attempt to open the door to keep Britain under Brussels rule.

Mr Tusk quoted John Lennon’s Imagine at a press conference in Brussels, saying “you may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one” while addressing the prospect of the UK remaining in the bloc.

He said the European Union was “well prepared” for the “difficult” Brexit negotiations, which formally started in the Belgian capital on Monday.

Mr Tusk said: “The Brexit negotiations started three days ago. It is a most difficult process, for which the EU is well prepared.
