"Madam President, I think that after this I am going to have to report to the doctor because I think I am having a hallucination. I must be having a fantasy because I am sure I saw Ms Mogherini saying that there was going to be EU defence spending and EU armed forces and battle groups.
Now, during the referendum campaign in the UK the Remain side told us this was fantasy. No such thing! It couldn’t possibly be true. They couldn’t have been lying, so I must be dreaming you Ms Mogherini. It is quite a bizarre dream I am having.
The reality is: this money that is being squandered on this crazy political project, which will make no difference to anybody except losing money from the taxpayers, should be within the nation states, and they should be spending it on the one thing that actually does keep our nation safe – that is NATO. I suggest that each and every one of these nation states gets up to their 2% minimum spending, or maybe a bit more to make up for all the money that they have not put in over the years, and we will have a really serious defence plan through NATO, rather than this political fantasy."@en1
