Great Britain. Poor little victim Britain. Running away because they feel 'bullied'. Insecure, sad little boys. https://t.co/htTgFEkNog

Just watched the footage of Farage and his band of union jack-waving pricks. It’s so deeply embarrassing, so disrespectful, so undignified, shameful and insulting not only to the EU but to those of us in the UK they have represented. Good riddance to them.

You know that sinking feeling when someone announces: "The children have written a little play for us, and now they’d like to perform it…" ?
That’s what all the normal MEPs had to go through every time Farage got to his feet.— paul bassett davies (@thewritertype) January 29, 2020

National treasure, Kathy Burke had a very pithy response to the debacle.

James O’Brien pointed out a probable unintended side-effect of Nigel Farage’s long slog to Brexit.
By showing what leaving it looks like, we have done more for the European Union than any politician or PR guru could dream of – yet still they mourn our departure. Says it all, really. Meanwhile, Farage & Widdecombe wave little flags celebrating a union that won’t survive Brexit. https://t.co/yFVVgaIENU
