BBC Europe – Brexit vote: Bitter exchanges as EU parliament debates Brexit. There have been bitter exchanges in the European parliament during a debate on the UK’s vote to leave the EU. Much of the anger was aimed at leading Leave campaigner, UKIP’s Nigel Farage, who was booed and at one point accused of using “Nazi propaganda”. But in his speech Mr Farage told parliament members “you as a political project are in denial”.
