Leader of the House of Commons Jacob Rees-Mogg has insisted there will be no triumphalism to mark Brexit – but he may enjoy a glass of sparkling French wine tomorrow night. The Commons Leader said such a move would be “allowable” in a “spirit of sympathy” to Europe at 11pm on Friday, the moment the UK formally leaves the European Union.
SNP MP Patrick Grady had said communities in Scotland will gather to say “au revoir not adieu” to fellow members of the EU, adding: “I just want to caution the Government about any kind of triumphalism about all of this.
Mr Rees-Mogg also joked: “I’d just say one thing about leaving the lights on – I thought the SNP was very environmentally-friendly so I hope they’re carefully investigating the carbon cost of this.”
