Ex-Brexit Party MEP mocked for moaning that EU ‘restricted free movement’

Lance Forman claimed he "believed in free movement", and called the EU "crazy" for "restricting" it.

An ex-Brexit Party MEP has been ruthlessly trolled for claiming to “believe in free movement and free trade” – and suggesting that the EU is “crazy” to “restrict freedom of movement from Brits as much as you do”.

Lance Forman, who resigned the Brexit Party whip to back Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal before the 2019 election, tweeted that he didn’t believe Brexit will have “a negative economic impact”.

“I don’t think we can measure the impact of 40 years of being in the EU with three months of being out,” he said. “I have not taken away your rights. The EU have. I believe in free movement and free trade.”

He added: “I think the EU are crazy to restrict FOM from Brits as much as you do. I don’t think it will be forever.”

Forman was, predictably, chastised on Twitter for spouting “nonsense”. Dragons Den star Deborah Meaden said: “Remember when I told you this would happen and you told me it wouldn’t?”

Other incensed Remainers were in awe at the “utter stupidity” of Forman’s tweets. Here are some of the best reactions.

It was the UK govt who took away our rights to FOM Lance. You campaigned for it, voted for it and made sure we left the Single Market.

I don’t know where to even start with this nonsense. https://t.co/hp7lgmpNTn

I think the EU are crazy to do the exact thing I campaigned for, voted for, convinced others to vote for and told people wouldn’t be a problem and wouldn’t affect them. https://t.co/C42Wwju1Qk

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
