Raging Ann Widdecombe blasts anti-Brexit MEP in EU Parliament clash, explaining Boris's success

Brexit Party MEP Ann Widdecombe delivered a furious speech defending the 17.4 million people that voted for the UK to leave the EU after Netherlands MEP Sophie in 't Veld tried to argue that a majority of people in the UK did not vote for Brexit.


The European Parliament is meeting to vote on legislation in its plenary session in Strasbourg.


Ms in 't Veld argued that only 43 percent of the British people voted for a Brexit agenda during the December 2019 election.

She told the Parliament it was only because of the UK's first-past-the-post electoral system that Boris Johnson was able to secure a majority.

Ms Widdecombe laughed in response, and said: "17.4 million in the biggest democratic turnout in British history voted to leave.

"We ended up in the European elections as the single biggest party in this Parliament."
