Guy Verhofstadt, the EU parliament's chief negotiator has expressed surprise and disbelief at recent comments from BoJo, Michael Fallon and Liam Fox (HERE).
Johnson has said the UK is prepared to help Turkey in any way it can - including presumably joining the EU. Verhofstadt, responding to BoJo's comments said:
“So Boris Johnson wants to help Turkey join the EU – after he just campaigned for the UK to leave the EU on the basis that Turkey would be joining the EU in the near future,” the former Belgian prime minister wrote on Facebook (see Tom Brake on it HERE)
He also took a pop at Michael Fallon for saying he would block any move to create an EU army and at Liam Fox who he said had “indicated the UK will leave the EU’s customs union because he thinks other markets are more important – while his prime minister tells us the EU27 ‘will sign’ an ambitious trade deal with the UK”.
The Europeans really must be wondering what's wrong with us.
