Arch Europhile Guy Verhofstadt was back on the airwaves today to once again accuse Nigel Farage of cheerleading for the Kremlin and “colluding with Putin” during his time as an MEP. This is currently the core theme of those whom are irreconcilable to Brexit. Appearing on LBC this morning, host Nick Ferrari challenged Verhofstadt to explain exactly how Farage had gone about this so-called “collusion”, to which Verhofstadt said:
“He was simply defending the positions of Russia, and denying in fact, Ukrainians and Belarus and Georgians and Moldova to choose their own paths to democracy… every extreme right-wing politician in Europe has one or other link with Russia and with Putin… [they’re] cheerleaders… They’re paid… now they are denying it.”
Never one to back down from a fight, not least from his old pal Guy, Farage immediately hit back:
“The only people who colluded with Putin are the EU idiots who still keep buying his gas and oil.”
Once again, the tangible evidence for Guy’s claims was mysteriously absent, and as of yesterday, EU states and firms are still buying oil from three Russian companies, even after the latest “transaction ban” sanctions. The EU states are literally funding Putin’s war-machine…
In June last year, Remainer heartthrob Guy Verhofstadt attacked the EU for allowing “the world to burn” while negotiating Brexit:
“We should be defending our shared interests against emboldened autocrats and other challenges, and uniting behind our liberal-democratic ideals.”
“Yet precisely at this time we are divided and distrustful of each other.”
One would presume now Brexit’s done and dusted Guy’s busy enjoying the freedom to focus on things that matter: Russia, constituents’ cost of living, Covid, international trade. You’d be wrong…
Last night, Ben Judah checked in on the Boris-hating MEP and found he’d made three tweets, all about the UK, in the previous 24 hours: an Express cover about Brexit, one about Tory finances and another about Sue Gray’s report.
Judah accurately observes that Guy’s constituents may be rightly miffed to see their representative in Brussels so obsessed with UK affairs and chasing retweets on social media instead of focusing on things relevant to their lives. Guido just hopes for Guy’s mental health that he one day will be able to put his Brexit resentment behind him…
Guy Verhofstadt has tried putting a brave face on EU member states’ underwhelming performances at the 2020 Olympics, claiming if the EU were a nation-state in of itself its record would be more impressive:
Fun fact: EU combined has more gold medals than US or China #TokyoOlympics

I’d love to see the EU flag next to the national on athletes’ clothes.
Our identity is layered - we’re proud Italians, Latvians, Germans, Slovenians... and Europeans. Our sports should reflect that !🥇🇪🇺
Given this is the first Olympics since Brexit, Guido points out that were Britain still members the EU’s medal total would be a whopping 25% higher. We were always propping them up…
We’re also currently totaling the same number of gold medals as our nearest two EU medal table neighbours, France and Germany, combined. Guido will leave it up to Guy to tot up the Commonwealth…
Patron saint of the Europhiles, Guy Verhofstadt, has told followers “If you believe in Europe, if you love Europe, it’s your duty to be the most vocal critic”, describing the EU’s vaccine roll-out as a “fiasco”. Stark contrast to the hilarious Guardian op-ed this morning which argued the UK’s vaccine rollout success is an “illusion” and we should admit the EU is doing better…
Verhofstadt argues the fault of Europe – given it is a world leader in vaccine manufacturing, however sees most of its supply go abroad – lies with the contract negotiators in the Commission with the pharmaceutical companies, claiming that after reading the contracts:
“It becomes immediately crystal clear… where the origin of our vaccination problems come from. These contracts are extremely unbalanced… they are extremely weak and vague on supply and timing.”
Part 2.

EU is world leader in producing vaccines, yet there is a lack of supply in every EU country. pic.twitter.com/5ee0Dkd4iS
While Covid has seen the air industry decimated, it seems flying pigs are in abundance…
Whilst he had warm words for Britain, Verhofstadt went on to prove exactly why Britain voted to leave – as he argued if only there had been closer union and fewer opt-outs for Britain, Brexit wouldn’t have happened. Even now, Europhiles are completely clueless…
Farage expected to speak around half past; in the meantime he’s already making proceedings rowdy…
Increasingly deranged empire-loving Remainer, Guy Verhofstadt, turned fire against his own side today, blinded by his hate for the Tories.
Taking to Twitter, Guy linked to a Reuters article about Brits leaving Brexit Britain for the EU and ranted:
“Conservative party donors, backing Brexit but at the same time seeking EU citizenship via Cyprus. Pardon my French but ordinary British citizens are being screwed over by their elite.”
The article references Tory donors Alan Howard and Jeremy Isaacs who have applied for Cypriot citizenship. If Verhofstadt had continued reading the piece, however, he would have spotted Howard is a long-time pro-EU donor, having given £50,000 to The In Campaign. Isaacs also donated £10,000 to Chuka Umunna in September. This isn’t how you win over supporters of the EU cause, Guy…
