THE TELEGRAPH: The French president tells Nigel Farage that it is logical for Britain to quit the union during an altercation with the Ukip leader in the European parliament
Britain must back deeper integration of the European Union or quit altogether, Francois [sic] Hollande, the French president, declared on Wednesday night.
During furious exchanges with Nigel Farage, the Ukip leader, Mr Hollande said British voters who do not like the idea of a “strengthened” EU must take the “logical path” of Brexit.
It came as he spelled out France’s support for a series of radical new institutions to cope with the continent’s multiple crises, including a common defence policy, a share asylum system, a coast guard and powerful new eurozone institutions. » | Matthew Holehouse, Brussels | Wednesday, October 7, 2015
