BREXIT WARNING: ‘Fasten your seatbelt!’ EU sends PM May warning ahead of crunch vote

The European Union have taunted the UK ahead of the meaningful vote on Theresa May’s Brexit deal, telling Britons to “fasten your seatbelt” in a warning to MPs looking to vote against the agreement this evening.

European Commission Vice-President Jyrki Katainen said if the deal was rejected the prospect of a "hard Brexit" moved closer and his advice was "fasten your seatbelt".

He told reporters at the European Parliament in Straatsburg:

"Depending on the vote in the Commons, we are either moving forward to orderly withdrawal or hard Brexit is closer again, more close than ever it has been. "So, keep your hands on the wheel, look forward and fasten your seatbelt." The taunt comes two hours before the ballot is due to take place in the House of Commons tonight.
