The Brexit: Macron admits that he would prefer the UK in the EU as bankers snatched | UK | New

Mr Macron said he was ready to allow Britain to stay in the EU if the country voted Brexit 's scrap at a second referendum.

Mr Macron's comments come after he opposed Theresa May's proposal to the auditors at an informal gathering of European leaders in Salzburg.

S addressing Bloomberg on the sidelines of the One Planet summit on climate change in New York, the French president was questioned to find out he was hosting Britain in the EU.

He replied, "Of course."

This will, however, have a cost for his ambition to make Paris the first destination of the block.

Mr. Macron seemed not to be disturbed by the national defeat he would have had.

He said: "This is history, not national interests".

Despite being one of the EU's most influential leaders, Mr Macron insisted that the decision to hold a second referendum on British Brexit is not his responsibility.

Like many other European leaders, he is turning to the political conference season in the UK.

The Labor Party of Jeremy Corbyn has already declared his willingness to reject any agreement the Prime Minister makes in the House of Commons if he does not meet his strict criteria.

He told union activists in Liverpool: "In the current state of affairs, the Labor Party will vote against the Checkers plan – or whatever is left of it – and oppose its departure without agreement."

Sir Keir Starmer, Brexit Secretary for Mr. Corbyn, revealed "nobody" in the Labor Party. I did not exclude the possibility of a second public vote on the EU's divorce in Britain.

It is precisely this uncertainty that worries the European capitals and which requires even more preparation without agreement.

A secret note issued by the EU27 ambassadors reveals that they have asked the European Commission and the Member States to intensify the work on the emergency plans.

One of the concerns was the possibility that the withdrawal agreement between the UK and the EU may not be ratified by the country.

The document, seen by Express.co.uk, said: "Preparatory work needs to intensify in the coming months at national and EU level as uncertainty remains on the outcome of the negotiations and the ratification of any agreement.
