British “can’t be trusted” warns MacManus to von der Leyen

The Sinn Fein MEP Chris MacManus this morning told the President of the European Commission that the British could not be trusted and that they don’t care about Ireland.

The Midlands North-West MEP was responding to Ursula von der Leyen’s State of the Union address to the European Parliament.

During her lengthy speech, she told MEPs there was little time left to negotiate a trade deal with the UK. And she warned there could be no changes to the Brexit Withdrawal Treaty as proposed in Boris Johnson’s Internal Market bill.
