The European parliament’s top Brexit official has said, despite the chaos in British politics, the UK has given the continent one great thing: an amazing TV show.
Guy Verhofstadt compared the live transmission of the often raucous debates on Brexit in the House of Commons to Premier League football, which is transmitted around the world.
The Belgian politician said the Brexit debate sessions “have become more popular even than the matches in the Premier League in Europe”.
He went on with the metaphor, saying “the only difference is that it is always a draw there in the House of Commons”.

Mr Verhofstadt was hopeful that talks today between British Prime Minister Theresa May and opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn would finally yield a breakthrough.
