Brexit: Nigel Farage says EU behaving like the mafia

There have been sharp exchanges in the European parliament over Britain's exit from the EU.

Centre-right leader Manfred Weber warned that London could not cherry pick the best aspects of EU membership.

Liberal leader and Brexit negotiator, Guy Verhofstadt, called Brexit a domestic political cat-fight that got out of hand.

Nigel Farage, who was a key figure in the Brexit campaign, was reprimanded for accusing members of the European Parliament of treating Britain like a mafia hostage.
