Guy Verhofstadt has stated that the United Kingdom will one day rejoin the European Union. The Belgian MEP lashed out at Brexit, claiming Britain’s departure from Brussels was a “con”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brexit was also dubbed “the elephant in the room of British politics” and a “travesty” by Mr. Verhostadt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He added that he has “no doubt” that a “young British politician” will bring the country back into the EU in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Writing for the Independent, the Belgian MEP said: “Many people in the EU, including myself, believed Brexit was a disaster for the British people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We want the British back, but we also know that London will get a special deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The elephant in the room of British politics is Brexit and will get larger and larger until the main parties address it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Referring to Mr Verhofstadt’s claim that the UK “belongs in Europe”, GB News presenter Martin Daubney said: “The UK is in Europe. It\u2019s just not in the EU. We, the 17.4 million, made sure of that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Verhofstadt also stated: “I have no doubt that one day, a young British politician will slay the proverbial elephant and lead Britain back into the European family, where it belongs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“It is up to the British people to decide how quickly this day comes.”<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
