European Commission President's comments will be seized upon by Leave campaign as evidence of EU leadership’s intransigence over Britain’s terms of membership.

In a last minute intervention that will be viewed as deeply unhelpful by David Cameron and the Remain camp, Mr Juncker said the Prime Minister had already “got the maximum he could receive” from his pre-referendum negotiation in February.

Mr Cameron has said repeatedly this week that he will use a Remain vote to push for further reform of the EU, particularly around freedom of movement rules.


But Mr Juncker’s comments, made to reporters in Brussels on the eve of Britain’s historic In-Out referendum, will be seized upon by the Leave campaign as evidence of the EU leadership’s intransigence over Britain’s terms of membership.

“The British policymakers and British voters have to know that there will be not be any kind of renegotiation,” Mr Juncker said.

“We have concluded a deal with the Prime Minister, he got the maximum he could receive, we gave the maximum we could give. So there will be no kind of renegotiation, nor on the agreement we found in February, nor as far as any kind of treaty negotiations are concerned.”

Juncker is the gift that keeps on giving! Proof point number 1000 or so of why we need to vote leave tomorrow. I want my kids to grow up in a free and democratic country that determines its own future, not a superstate like this.
They claim its a democracy of 28 nations but then this guy stands up and declares on his own what "can" or "cannot" happen. Much like Merkel last year with her unilateral "lets open the floodgates and change the whole culture of Europe" decision last year on behalf of all of us without even asking if anyone minds.
