British prime minister Theresa May confirmed that the talks on the UK's withdrawal from the EU with the European commission's chief negotiator Michel Barnier and the Commission's president Jean-Claude Juncker will start on 19 June – as announced before the general election in which her Conservative party has lost its majority in the Commons.
Britain is now in a weaker position for negotiating, also because May is holding talks with the Northern Irish Protestant and eurosceptic DUP party on forming the new government.
