Michel Barnier: 'British people chose against solidarity' - Daily Mail

The EU's chief negotiator said the UK had ignored pleas from European allies to combat terrorism and chose to be 'on its own again' in the referendum last June. In comments that risk fueling tensions at a critical point in talks, Mr Barnier jibed that the Leave vote had followed 'a series of attacks on European soil' when the need for 'solidarity' was most acute. The extraordinary intervention, in a speech at a security conference in Berlin, drew a furious response from MPs. Tory backbencher Peter Bone said it was 'outrageous' for Mr Barnier to suggest the UK was not playing its part - insisting that NATO, not the EU was responsible for ensuring peace.
