Britain’s withdrawal from EU will be as painful as possible as lesson to other nations
Britain’s release from the EU will be made as painful as possible by Brussels bosses sending a message to other European nations flirting with leaving.

The claim was made by French nationalist Marine Le Pen after a post-Brexit meeting today with French President Francois Hollande.
Calls for France to leave the European Union have increased in the wake of Brexit and Hollande met the National Front leader in an attempt to find a way forward.
The historic British vote to leave has deepened fears among mainstream politicians across Europe about the rise of anti-establishment parties, particularly in France, where Ms Le Pen’s far-right, eurosceptic National Front is increasingly popular.
Ms Le Pen repeated her calls for France to hold its own EU referendum after announcing her support for Brexit.
But the politician said her demands were rejected and she left the talks “with the feeling of having come for nothing”.
Ms Le Pen said Hollande “will take no notice of all the signals that have been sent for years by people in Europe and France, not even after the British people’s decision to leave the EU”.
