He further added that he gave up his career in business to go up and become an MEP which had a very damaging effect on family life and other things.

I have been staring at the portrait of "Mr Brexit" for some time now, trying to work out who it actually looks like and I now realise it was when I was a child, at a late night shopping event at an Essex department store, I met an ageing Gordon Banks.https://t.co/fHiBqbMQ4E
