Brexiteer Martin Daubney has savaged remainer Guy Verhofstadt saying he’ll still be “banging on about Brexit” like “some sad old divorcee” in 2045.
The flaming by former MEP turned GB News presenter Daubney came after the former Prime Minister of Belgium Verhofstadt took to social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, to call Brexit a “disaster”. In his post Verhofstadt - a current MEP for Belgium - called Brexit a “disaster”.
He said: “Brexit is a disaster, latest. A clear message from the UK not to follow the populists in other countries like Le Pen, Wilders, Salvini or Vlaams (Chinese) Belang, who also want to regain their ‘sovereignty’.”
He shared a news article from The Guardian which claims a majority of the British public now believes Brexit has been bad for the UK economy, according to a poll by Opinium. But Daubney was quick to respond, calling out Verhofstadt, 70, for his stance.
He said: “In the year 2045, Guy Verhofstadt will still be banging on about Brexit, like some sad old divorcee, thumbing though [sic] photos of the ex wife, while sobbing into a glass of Bells.”

Daubney, 53, was the deputy leader of the Reclaim Party from 2021 until August 2022. He was a Brexit Party Member of the European Parliament (MEP) for the East Midlands from 2019 to 2020 and the longest-serving editor of the men's lifestyle magazine Loaded.
Earlier this month Remainer calls to rejoin the European Union were branded as "just a pipe dream" as Brexit hasn't proven nearly as disastrous as predicted, according to the Guardian's economic editor.
The question of whether the UK could - or should - rejoin the bloc was thrust back into discussions following comments from EU Commission president Ursula Von Der Leyen.

The official suggested Brexit could be reversed because leaders had "goofed it up" and that the younger generation could help "fix" the growing rift across the English Channel. She added that the "direction of travel", in her opinion, was "clear".
But writing for The Guardian, Larry Elliott, the publication's economic editor, has said it is "completely illogical" to "hanker for how things were".
The journalist, who emerged as one of the publication's few pro-Brexit voices in the run-up to the 2016 vote, has held his view that the departure has proven beneficial for the UK.
