Italian politician and former President of the European Parliament Antonio Tajani called for appreciation of his British colleagues during a committee on constitutional affairs. Mr Tajani and the rest of his European colleagues then gave a standing ovation to the British MEPs who looked touched by the gesture.
“This will be the last voting committee and you will no longer be sitting next to us for our future work.
“I would like to express my gratitude to all my British friends from all political groups for their commitment and positive contributions to the work of this committee.
“I would like to give all of our colleagues a round of applause.
Antonio Tajani was the President of the European Parliament between 2017-2019.
“You will be missed.”
However, some British MEPs will clearly not miss European Parliament.
Earlier this week Brexit Party MEP Alexandra Phillips unleashed a scathing attack on the European Union during an interview with talkRADIO’s Mike Graham.
Ms Phillips claimed the European Union was “deliberately made to be anti-democratic”, admitting she was “revolted” by the Brussels political system.

Ms Phillips said: “It is anti-democratic, not undemocratic but deliberately made to be anti-democratic.
“That is what I find revolting.
“When the massive economic crisis happened, the Eurozone crisis and everyone saw the way the EU treated countries such as Italy and Greece.
“Essentially saying to democratically elected leaders sorry because you’re probably going to want to leave the euro to devalue your currency and get back on your feet we can’t have that because it is going to threaten the project.
