PMQs: Brexiteer Peter Bone offers to PERSONALLY go to Brussels to sort out a Brexit deal
Tory MP Peter Bone offered to personally go to Brussels with Theresa May to 'sort out' a Brexit deal in a fiery PMQs question.
Brexiteer Peter Bone hilariously offered to personally to go with the Prime Minister to sort out Brexit negotiations if there was a 'problem'.
He said: "When the British people voted to leave the European superstate, they voted to end the free movement of people, they voted to stop sending billions and billions of pounds to the EU each and every year and they voted to make our laws in our own country judged by our own judges.
"Prime Minister, are we on course still to deliver that and if we have a problem, would it help if I came over to Brussels with you to sort it out?"

His offer was met with laughter from the other MPs.
Theresa May replied: "Well I say to my Honourable friend I am always happy to spend time in his company."
She went on to say: “I hope his petition on chicken farms went down well the other evening but the answer is yes we are on course to deliver what the people of this country voted for then they voted to leave the European Union.”
Mrs May is facing PMQs for the first time since she broke off Brexit negotiations with Jean-Claude Juncker after details of a proposed Irish border deal emerged in the press, prompting the Prime Minister to leave talks to contact DUP leader Arlene Foster.
The Prime Minister was launched into crisis talks with the DUP saying it will take days to change the wording to something they can support.
The leaked deal suggested Northern Ireland would be offered a separate Brexit deal in order to avoid the implementation of the hard border – keeping the country in the EU’s customs union and single market in all but name.
It was expected that a deal would be reached by the EU Summit next week.
