European Council President Donald Tusk has talked about a”special spot in hell” to”people who encouraged Brexit with no sketch of a strategy of how to take it out safely”.

He spoke at Brussels after talks with premier Leo Varadkar.

Downing Street said it was a matter for Mr Tusk”if he believes using that sort of language useful”.

In what was the biggest democratic practice in our background individuals voted to leave the EU.”

He added that everybody should concentrate on delivering this.

The Twitter accounts of mr Tusk tweeted his remarks immediately

And in the conclusion of the media conference, Mr Varadkar was picked up from the microphones telling Mr Tusk:”They will provide you terrible trouble from the British media for it.”

Mr Tusk nodded in laughed and the remark.

Former UKIP leader, and an independent MEP, Nigel Farage, tweeted at Mr Tusk:”Following Brexit we’ll be liberated of unelected, arrogant bullies such as you and operate our own nation. Sounds more like paradise to me”

“I am certain when he reflects on it may well wish he had not done it,” she told BBC Radio 4’s World at One.

“It’s Tusk and his arrogant EU negotiators that have fanned the fires of panic in an effort to attempt to overturn the effect of the referendum.”

However, Sinn Fein President Mary Lou McDonald endorsed Mr Tusk, asserting that it had been the place of”hardline” Brexit-supporting MPs such as Boris Johnson and Jacob Rees-Mogg which has been”intemperate” and”untenable”.

“They’re those who have collaborated with complete contempt for [Ireland], absolute disregard for the adventures of Irish people, north and south, with absolute disregard for the peace process that’s been jointly assembled over decades,” she added.

Mr Tusk started his comments by telling reporters that there were 50 days to go before the exit of the UK .

“I understand that a very fantastic amount of men and women in the united kingdom, and around the continent, in addition to in Ireland, want for a change of the decision. I’ve always been together with all of my heart, with you.

“However, the truth are unmistakable. Right now, also the Leader of the Opposition, and also the UK prime minister’s position this out query.

“Nowadays, there’s absolutely no political force without a successful direction for Remain. I state this without gratification, but you can not argue with the truth.”

Theresa May – that supported the united kingdom staying at the EU throughout the 2016 EU referendum but has constantly insisted that Brexit has to be delivered since that was exactly what people voted for – is expected to arrive in Brussels on Thursday to seek out legal adjustments to the withdrawal bargain she signed up with the EU. She hopes these changes can help her get .

Mr Tusk reported that another 27 EU members had determined in December that the withdrawal arrangement was”not available for renegotiation”.

He explained:”I expect that tomorrow we’ll hear from Prime Minister May a sensible proposal about the best way best to end the impasse…. Observing the most recent votes at the House of Commons.”

“We won’t gamble with serenity or set a sell-by date . That is the reason why we insist upon the backstop.”

“I expect that the UK authorities will present ideas which will both honor this point of view and also in precisely the exact same time control a steady and very clear majority in the House of Commons.

“I strongly feel that a frequent alternative is possible and that I shall do everything in my ability to find it”

Mr Varadkar reported that while he had been”open to further talks” with the UK authorities about post-Brexit connections the legally-binding withdrawal arrangement remained”the very best bargain possible”.

He said he’d agreed with Mr Tusk the backstop has been”required as a legal promise to make sure there isn’t any return to a tricky edge on the island of Ireland while protecting the integrity of the European single market and customs union”.

He added he had agreed with Mr Tusk who”in light of their continuing uncertainty in London along with also the fast-approaching deadline” preparations for a no-deal Brexit must intensify.
