The Maggie May singer described the UK’s decision to leave the European Union as an “enormous error”.

       Ahead of the release of a new album, the 76-year-old spoke to a Barcelona-based reporter for Spanish daily El Mundo about Brexit and the aftermath of this vote.

       He said: “Brexit has been an enormous mistake and we’re realising it too late.

       “There’s a load of things Boris didn’t think about.

       “He should have called me, I would have explained a couple of things to him.

       “I’ve always been against it, I liked things the way they were before.

       “What have we gained with all this? Ending up with no lorries?”
