Brexiteer MEP claims Farage was 'left bewildered by Barnier's 30-year plan for Britain'
A Brexiteer MEP has said Michel Barnier's task is not to negotiate with Britain, but to "nobble at our economy for 30 years".
The Ukip MEP took aim at Michel Barnier this week, claiming that the EU's Brexit negotiator was tasked by Brussels to achieve one thing - to hurt Britain's economy.
David Coburn said the EU was acting "out of spite" and not common sense, and even predicted that Ireland will follow Britain out of the EU in a few years, based on economic reality.

Mr Coburn also revealed that former Ukip leader Nigel Farage and Lord Digby Jones, who met with Mr Barnier in Brussels this month, were left "bewildered" after their conversation.
Speaking to EU Reporter from Strasbourg, the MEP said: "The EU are terrified that we leave with a good deal. Britain will do well with or without a deal.
"Barnier’s business is to nobble the British economy and British businesses.
"The reason Nigel Farage and Lord Digby Jones came out of their meeting with Barnier bewildered was because they couldn’t believe what his actual mission was."

He explained: "That mission is to destroy Britain and nobble our economy for the next 30 years.
"They do not want the largest economy on their door step running rings around them, which is what will happen without EU interference."
Following his meeting with Mr Barnier, Nigel Farage claimed that the EU was not going to offer Britain a decent deal, and urged Brexiteers to prepare themselves for another referendum.
