		</div><p>Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage has come under fire after attacking Jean-Claude Juncker for saying the EU should not agree to delay the UK’s withdrawal from the bloc beyond October 31.</p>
<p>Despite Mr Farage repeatedly insisting Britain must quit the EU on Halloween, with or without a deal, the arch-Brexiteer took a swipe at the European Commission president’s stance.</p>
<p>Former de-facto deputy prime minister Damian Green was among those to poke fun at Mr Farage over his comments.</p>

<p>Asked if he would be prepared to back a Brexit delay, Mr Juncker said: <em>“There will be no prolongation.</em></p>
<p><em>“We have concluded a deal and so there is not an argument for further delay – it has to be done now.”</em></p>
<p>Responding to Mr Juncker’s comments, Mr Farage tweeted: <em>“So an unelected, retiring bureaucrat says: No extension, take this new treaty or just leave.</em></p>

<p>He is overriding the Benn Act. The EU shows itself to be a thuggocracy &#8211; power without accountability. </p>
<p>Appalling people.</p>

<p><em>“He is overriding the Benn Act. The EU shows itself to be a thuggocracy – power without accountability. Appalling people.”</em></p>
<p>Former first secretary of state Mr Green used a famous, much used, meme of a couple walking past a woman and the man looking back at her, to apparently imply that the Brexit Party leader was not sticking by his stated beliefs.</p>
<p>Under the terms of the so-called Benn Act, the PM must write to the EU requesting a Brexit delay if a withdrawal deal has not been secured by October 19.</p>
