It appears that the federast apparatchiki don’t like any of those running to be new Tory leader and thus PM. To which the correct response is, “So what, buggerlugs?” Because of course it’s our PM we’re talking about, not some satrap who requires the approval of our overlords.

Take this for example:
You whut? The senior civil servant in the system is commenting, publicly, on who should be their political master? That is indeed what the lipstick on the EU pig says – the European Council is made up of the elected heads of government and that rules the roost. The Sec Gen of the EU Commission is subservient to that higher body.
Well, yes, quite, that’s why we’re leaving, isn’t it, so that we’re no longer in danger of being ruled by such jumped up sheetstains.

One wonders if Herr Selmayr is trying to get us to vote Tory.
EU apparatchiks tend to be daltonic. It is not the blue or indeed the red rosette that concerns them, they don't see things in terms of left or right, but in terms of "ever closer union" or not. They initially liked David Cameron and Tony Blair equally.
Their dislike, and it is a visceral one verging on hatred, is for those who tend toward subsidiarity inside the Union as is the case of Sr. Salvini; or even worse for those who, in the case of Mr. Johnson, would weaken the Union by removing one of its most important constituent parts.
In their mind they do not interfere in UK politics, because as an EU member UK politics are EU politics and it is their raison d'être is to ensure that national politics and parliaments are no more than municipal or county councils. Just as HMG suspended the council in Rotherham and appointed an executive, the EU suspended the Italian government and appointed a technocrat.
Up till now all crises have been beneficial ones, financial chaos allowed for the EU to gain oversight over member state's budgets, uncontrolled mass migration is driving for more integration in border, policing and even military policy.
But in terms of Brexit they have dropped the ball, unless the UK fails to leave, it is for them solely a damage limitation exercise, it is rarely appreciated in the UK the extent of the blow Brexit is for the EU, militarily, economically and politically it is a big loss to Brussels.
If Brexit can't be halted Britain must be humiliated and punished as a deterrent to dissuade more recalcitrant member states from considering their own exit. Of course they are still banking on a second referendum or Article 50 being revoked by parliament. The odds are in their favour, Prime Minister Johnson shortens them somewhat, that he is a Tory is for them almost irrelevant.
