The European Parliament‘s top Brexit official, Guy Verhofstadt, has said „a real Brexit revolt“ is currently underway in the United Kingdom.

It comes amid an online petition to revoke Britain‘s decision to leave the EU, which has been signed by more than five million people, and hundreds of thousands taking to the streets to stay in the EU.

Mr Verhofstadt said he felt especially encouraged by the vote in the House of Commons seizing more control over the stalled Brexit process.
