//On Saturday we heard the Spanish gloating, overly so, about their biggest diplomatic win since the 1713 Treaty of Utrecht.
Spanish PM Pedro Sanchez said on Sunday: "Really, regarding the departure of the United Kingdom, we are all losing, and it's especially the United Kingdom who is losing, but regarding Gibraltar, Spain wins. And Europe wins."
But more problematic was the French president, who again at the very end of a summit that had gone smoothly, delivered an insight into French thinking that will not go down well in an already highly sceptical Commons.
"If we have an agreement we shall defend access to British waters as being part of the indispensable balance - this has been acknowledged in EU27 statement," he said before being asked by British journalists what "leverage" he thought would be able to deliver continued EU/French access to UK fishing waters post Brexit.
And the clear implication of his answer was that the ability to veto UK exit from an already unpopular customs union backstop gives France leverage over fishing rights.
He said: "It is leverage because it is important as to our future relationship and I do not understand that Mrs May and those who support her very much wanted to stay in the customs union, they would rather favour new rules."//
