Brexit news: WATCH AC Grayling's SHOCK meeting with Verhofstadt to THWART Brexit
The philosopher A C Grayling, who has called Brexit “politically illegitimate” because the 2016 vote excluded people under the age 18 and EU citizens living in the UK, had been invited to meet the European Union’s chief Brexit negotiator Guy Verhofstadt by ardent Remainer MEP Catherine Bearder.
The meeting, at the EU Parliament building in Brussels, centred around how to disrupt Brexit by taking a hard negotiating line against representatives for the UK government.
The secretive talks happened place last year but were captured by an episode of the Channel 4 series Carry On Brexit.
Mr Grayling told Mr Verhofstadt: “What would help the remain movement in the UK would be if the EU is very, very tough and uncompromising on a deal.”
Mrs Bearder added: “I am absolutely convinced that within a decade we’ll be knocking on the door saying, ‘excuse me, can we come back in again.’”
