The brawling in Britain over that June Brexit referendum has now spilled over across the Channel. Ahead of a Franco-British summit staged on the World War I battlefields of the Somme, French economy minister Emmanuel Macron warned that should the UK leave the EU, be braced for a move home of French financial services from London. The summit coincides with the dismantling of the Jungle camp in Calais. Is the French handling of the crisis helping or hurting David Cameron’s “Stay” pitch?
Produced by Charles WENTE, François WIBAUX and Christopher DAVIS.
