New Pictures 'Monster of Brussels' tipped as UK ambassador to be based in Margaret Thatcher's former HQ

 Martin Selmayr is known as the ‘monster of Brussels’

He is known as the ‘monster of Brussels’ – and if the buzz on the diplomatic circuit is correct, he could soon be moving his lair to Margaret Thatcher’s former HQ.

With just weeks to go until the UK is supposed to leave the EU, Brussels is preparing to appoint its first ambassador to London.

And British diplomats fear that the EU is about to appoint Martin Selmayr, the European Commission’s secretary-general. 

The pugnacious right-hand man to EU president Jean-Claude Juncker would operate with full diplomatic powers from the EU’s London base – in the Smith Square building which was the Tory party’s HQ under Thatcher.

Selmayr – whose grandfather Josef was a Lieutenant Colonel on Hitler’s General Staff in the Balkans and served a four-year prison sentence for war crimes –would have a critical role implementing Brexit, when the UK instantly becomes the EU’s third-largest trading partner.

The 47-year-old has been branded a ‘poisonous, merciless, ruthless, manipulative bully’ – and the fervent federalist believes that Brexit should be made as painful as possible for Britain to discourage other EU countries from deserting.

A senior diplomatic source said: ‘The move makes perfect sense because once Juncker leaves later this year, Selmayr is likely to have his wings clipped there. London will be a plum job and the close attention he’s paid to the job spec has been noticed.’ 

A European Commission spokesman said: ‘The appointment of a Head of Delegation will follow the usual recruitment procedure’.
