Eurosceptic MP Peter Bone hit out at politicians and insisted it is “wrong” to blame Brexiteers for the lengthy extension during furious rant in the Commons today. The furious Brexiteer blamed Prime Minister Theresa May for forcing the UK to delay the Brexit process by a further six months.
Addressing MPs, a furious Mr Bone said: “It’s just a matter of fact that the United Kingdom will have left the European Union either on March 29 or April 12, except for the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister alone going to Brussels and asking for an extension.
To say that the reason there are European elections is down to not passing the Government’s atrocious withdrawal bill is wrong.
“Would the Leader of the House make that point clear and would she also confirm in relation to the right-honourable member for Stone not only will we debate on it, we will vote on it?”
In response, Ms Leadsom said: “My honourable friend is very well aware that it’s the Government’s policy to leave the European Union in an orderly way. That means leaving with a deal.
“He will also be aware that the decision of this House not to support that deal and, indeed, to require an extension to Article 50 is the reason why such an extension has been agreed.”
The furious Brexiteer shook his head as Ms Leadsom continued: “I have made clear to my honourable friend, the member for Stone, that we will be able grant a debate on the statutory instrument that he has prayed against.”
