He said today: “I think we’ve done our job. We should reward ourselves with a medal – if we don’t, noone else will… and take pride. We won.”

The MP – who now is an independent politician – quit at the end of March
He went on: “Generally speaking, if you have won a battle or a war, you disband and you go home, reach out to the people you beat and try and win the peace. That’s what we need to do.”
He also claimed that the historic referendum result was “not an angry, nativist, xenophobic vote” but one about Britain being “open, internationalist, generous and globalist”.
SCREW EU!
Lord Mandelson branded a traitor after slamming PM’s ‘attitude’
and urging EU chiefs to ‘screw’ Britain
But he also said today he was not opposed to free movement of labour – people coming from within the EU to do skilled jobs.
In order to get a National Insurance Number, he argued, companies must agree to pay them at least £24,000 per year – which would help stop the compression of wages.

He said what happened to Ukip now was “not my problem”
The MP – who was previously a member of the Conservatives – also hinted today that he could fight the next general election for another party instead.
He said today: “If I were standing for a party at that election I would want them to take a view on the environment where minimum standards in the EU were no longer regarded as the maximum standard.”
And he he also touched on the idea that there should be TWO MPs for every constituency – to stop some politicians from having a “job for life” in a “safe seat”.
He suggested that Britain could return to the days of every MP sharing their area with another – and the number of constituencies could be cut in two.
“If you didn’t turn up to surgeries, you would be shown up by someone who did,” he said.
“Even within parties, you need that competition to have a functional democracy.”
