The only winners from a Brexit would be Nigel Farage and Vladimir Putin; who would relish a divided Europe. - Guy Verhofstadt

I know that within the Tory party the hard Brexiteers are compared to the leaders of the French revolution. I think Gove is Brissot, and Boris Johnson is Danton, and Rees-Mogg is compared to Robespierre. We should not forget that the efforts of these men were not appreciated by the common man they claimed to represent – because they all ended up on the guillotine. So that’s important to remind [them].

[<nowiki/>Brexit] is stupidity for a country with 53 percent of its exports going to the Continent and to the rest of Europe. It’s even so stupid that Britain’s best friends, the U.S., don’t understand it all.

It is sad to see a country leaving that twice liberated us, [that has] twice given its blood to liberate Europe
