Nigel Farage and pro-Brexit MEPs branded it “disgraceful” that Speaker John Bercow and his EU counterpart met to discuss Brexit and a possible second referendum.
Bercow met with David Sassoli, the President of the European Parliament, while the Italian politician was in London following a meeting with Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
Sassoli who operates a similar role to the Speaker by refereeing MEP debates in Brussels confirmed he met Mr Bercow on Wednesday to discuss extending Article 50 and his own views on a second referendum.
