Nigel Farage is facing mockery after he claimed the new European Commission president lacked "legitimacy" because she won just 52 per cent of the vote.
Mr Farage said Ursula von der Leyen had "power but no legitimacy" after she scraped in by nine votes in a ballot in the European Parliament on Tuesday.
Critics were quick to point out that the incoming head of the EU executive won by the same margin as the Leave campaign during the 2016 EU referendum - when the result was 52 per cent to 48 per cent.
- Nigel Farage:
What you've seen from Ursula von der Leyen is an attempt for the European Union to take control of every single aspect of our lives... You've just made Brexit a lot more popular in the United Kingdom. Thank God we're leaving.

Ursula von der Leyen' responded to the Brexit Party Leader Nigel Farage. Ursula von der Leyen tells Nigel Farage that we 'can do without you'!

Ursula von der Leyen
After her victory, the centre-right politician said in a speech to the European Parliament:

The trust you placed in me is confidence you placed in Europe.

Your confidence in a united and strong Europe, from east to west, from south to north.

It is a big responsibility and my work starts now. Let us work together constructively.

Von der Leyen told Farage drily that she wants to work more closely with the UK, but that "we can probably do without what you've got to say," to applause from the gathered party representatives.

Farage had said that von der Leyen's pitch to leaders was "an attempt of the European Union to take control of every single aspect of our lives".

He continued, to growing jeers: "She wants to build a centralised, undemocratic, updated form of communism that will render nation state parliaments, where the state controls everything, where nation state parliaments will cease to have any relevance at all."

He went on to accuse the former German defence minister, who wants a united EU military, of being a "fanatic" advocate of an EU army, which would spell the end of NATO. He described Emmanuel Macron appearing with European forces on Bastille Day as "an updated version of Napoleon".
