Farage criticises 'worst policy in modern Europe'published at 15:50
15:50Nigel Farage calls the EU approach to refugees and migrants "probably the worst piece of public policy seen in modern Europe". It "compounded the already failing and flawed EU common asylum policy by saying to the whole world: please come to Europe". He claims the majority who have come to Europe have been "young, male economic migrants" many of whom "behave very aggressively".
With both the applause and boos rising in the chamber, he says "a Brexit now looks more likely than ever before" and hopes it will mark the "beginning of the end" of the EU project.
Farage attacks 'German-dominated' EUpublished at 15:45
15:45UKIP leader Nigel Farage is responding to the speeches by the French president and German chancellor in the European Parliament. He said it was "sensible" to get France and Germany together in the 1950s to work for peace. "All that was absolutely right and high-minded. Sadly, the whole thing has become corrupted," he claims.
Quote MessageThe French voice in this relationship, and in Europe, is now little more than a pipsqueak. It's an irony that a project that was designed to contain German power has now given us a totally German-dominated Europe."

Hollande addresses MEPspublished at 15:00
15:00Addressing the European Parliament, French President Francois Hollande says Europe has had a "succession of crises" for over a year. He adds that people need to perhaps learn to "live with" the fear produced by this instability, but should not allow themselves to be "dominated" by it.
He argues that the problems faced by the EU should not cause its members to "retreat into their national shells". Returning to internal borders as a result of the migration crisis would be a "tragic error". He adds that co-operation with Turkey is now "of the essence" in resolving the crisis.
