He's sitting next to his PR bod, who looks like he wants to crawl under the table.

He's coming off like a surly schoolboy. Massive Bastard.

Watched a bit of it yesterday my gawd seemed like a school bully in a suit.

Ill informed scaremongering - and even if true, we'd be able to vote for a government with better policies for workers.

At least it shows remainers agree the EU is undemocratic and overules our own government - the fact they can't foresee any problems when it's not going the way they want is scary.
