Brexit
Express
A BRITISH euro MP has revealed he is “95 per cent” certain to vote against any final deal between Britain and the European Union – and has revealed he expects his compatriots to do the same. Ukip MEP Gerard Batten said he is almost guaranteed to reject the contents of a compromise pact between Downing Street and Brussels when it is put before the EU Parliament in 2019. And he predicted he could be joined in a rebellion by europhiles from other parties including Labour, who will not want a final pact to succeed because they still hope to thwart Brexit. Mr Batten made the revelation in an interview with express.co.uk in Brussels, in which he also admitted that the EU can “reasonably” ask for Britain to cover financial commitments made as a member.
