Brexit latest: British MEP blasts May for 'humiliating' Brexit deal with Brussels
Britain and the EU finally agreed over EU citizens’ rights, the Brexit bill and the Irish border, meaning talks can progress on to trade in 2018. But Mr Batten lambasted Mrs May for answering the "summon of three unelected bureaucrats" to sign the agreement. He said: "Mrs May goes off, catches a plane at four o'clock in the morning because she is summoned by three unelected bureaucrats in Brussels in order to sign a document.

"I believe the reason why it was done at 7am is that Mr Tusk had to fly off to get an honorary doctorate degree from the university in Hungary and this is how humiliating the British Prime Minister is." The staunch Brexiteer also dismissed suggestions claiming the Brexit deal Mrs May signed will have a "positive impact" on the final agreement with Brussels before the UK officially leaves the bloc in 2019. Speaking to RT UK, Mr Batten continued: "I don’t know what positive impact it could have because it’s a national humiliation. What has she actually agreed? We’re going to have alignment with the single market until some kind of agreement can be reached." The British politician remained particularly critical of the decision to accept for Britain to remain under the European Court of Justice (ECJ) to preserve the rights of EU citizens living in the UK.
