On 24 March, Gordon Brown addressed the European Parliament. He said "I believe we in Europe are uniquely placed to lead the world in meeting the wholly new and momentous challenges of globalisation ahead precisely because of what we have achieved in our union."

Daniel Hannan has given a very good speech on the ocasion. He described Gordon Brown as the "devalued Prime Minister of a devalued government." He criticised Gordon Brown for "saying one thing here and another thing to your electorate." Listen to his speech here.
