After all, we all remember when the French and other electorates failed to vote your way. READ MORE ON BREXIT 'NONSENSE' Ex-EU boss slammed after claiming Brexit helped Russian invasion of Ukraine HAPPY BREX-DAY Rishi Sunak toasts to three years outside EU and hails Brexit benefits We remember when the French public voted in a way you didn’t like in 2005.

This is a carousel.
