'We all have to speak English today here because we are representing not only the European people, but also the British people'

A top member of the European Parliament has lambasted the Brexit Party as "extremists" after they staged a protest in the body's chamber on Tuesday.

The Spanish MEP Esteban Gonzalez Pons has told the European Parliament that Spain will defend its own priorities post-Brexit including the ‘decolonisation of Gibraltar’. This comes as the European Parliament today voted to support Spain's right to veto any agreement between the EU and the UK over Gibraltar.
