You're not laughing now': Nigel Farage goads EU parliament. French far-right backs him.

Farage told MEPs that they were "in denial" and "not laughing now". But the Ukip leader - who has campaigned for the UK to leave the bloc for over two decades - was loudly jeered and accused of using Nazi propaganda.

Sinn Fein MEP Martina Anderson said: "If English votes drag us out of the EU, that would be like Britannia waives the rules. "The last thing the people of Ireland need is an EU border with 27 member states stopped right in the middle of it."

Scottish National Party MEP Alyn Smith pleaded for members to remember that "Scotland did not let you down. Please, I beg you, do not let Scotland down now."

Marine Le Pen, the far-right French National Front leader and MEP, said her colleagues had to "stop sulking" about British peoples' decision.
