This year we are not exchanging any Christmas presents. Just a family meal.

This morning in the European Parliament everyone said: we will miss our British colleagues. The Liberal Democrats, The Labour Party, The SNP and The Green Party. True! But I won't miss Mr. Farage and his Brexiteers, I can tell you that much.
