Guy VerhofstadtVerified account

It’s quite remarkable how @guyverhofstadt will grasp the slightest opportunity to demonstrate pettyness or vindictiveness. Not quite the material from which statesmen are made, but may explain his sad performance as the #EU Parl’s chief #Brexit ‘negotiator’.

It's quite remarkable how British and American politicians can say and do the most outlandish and evil things without judgment, but some people will slate a European politician for little more than a caption competition.

You hit the nail on the head. I was trying to think of the opposite of ‘statesman’, but ‘caption competitor’ will do perfectly.

Keep spinning it, the EU are absolutely hammering Britain in the "negotiations" though so I think guy does just fine.

Sorry Guy, that’s not the kind of behaviour expected from a EU politician, you need to be bigger than that? And what does Putin have on @JunckerEU for him to congratulate on stages russian elections

Stop it. He's not the bad guy here.

I’m not saying he’s a bad guy, but he represents the European Union, he needs to be a paradigm of European values. And @JunckerEU should never have congratulated Putin, that’s a shameful day for the EU

I think you mean “paragon”.

Turns out he means “pangolin” which makes the whole thing a pretty confusing metaphor.

Don't forget Netanyahu the devil himself

They all already know what Putin has on him (and GOP). Their intelligence communities have known for years. He knows they know. Everyone is just waiting for Mueller.

Just look at the Japanese delegation... with that look of "oh dear, this is all very embarrassing".
