The Guardian has had a change of heart and style,and the early version today headlines the story of the row yesterday as it should have been written. It appears as a classic 'balanced' piece, a 'May hits back', but it mentions all the possibilities excluded from yesterday's hand-wringing
Juncker was possibly bluffing and/or bullying. He was personally offended and had a tantrum after being told the UK actually owed nothing in law (a claim disputed by H Kennedy's piece -- but that seems to depend on the UK being still subject to the European Court). It could probably back fire by enraging the Brits and helping May appear as a tough woman who needs a full support of ...etc
Maybe the Graun had complaints from the Government. Maybe it is trying to reclaim 'balance' and 'objectivity', like the BBC did for a while (until the mask slipped again via Evan Davis tantrums when guests would not reassure him). Maybe it is playing clever for a bit until all the partisan stuff is forgotten.
