France's Popular Republican Union (UPR) politician, Charles-Henri Gallois joined former Brexit Party MEPs last week to celebrate Brexit day in the Westminster Arms, in London. The French eurosceptic launched his battle against the European Union to lead France out of the Brussels bloc and follow Britain's example. In a video, posted by Mr Gallois on Twitter, the French politician thanks the Brexit Party's Alexandra Phillips and Brexiteers in the room for paving the way for other countries in the EU to leave the bloc.

He can be heard saying: “Brexit is a victory for you and I want to celebrate it with you. “But I think it’s a victory for all the democrats across Europe. “And actually, Brexit is the first step towards Frexit and Italexit. “I really want to thank you because you showed to all of Europe. So thank you. “Vive la Brexit, Vive la Frexit!” READ MORE: Brexit shock: Why Yellow Vest organiser claims Britain's departure

Brexit news: Frexit campaigners join Brexit Party in bid to take France out of EU

French protesters joined thousands of Brexiteers in Parliament Square on January 31 to show their support to the Brexit cause and celebrate the UK's departure from the bloc. Metthieu, 30, who is a GP in France was holding a massive sign calling for Frexit. Metthieu told Express.co.uk that Brexit showed it is possible to leave the EU. He said: "It is possible to leave the EU! "I want to send this message to French people." Hundreds of Leave supporters had piled into Parliament Square to count down to the historic moment that ends 47 years of British membership of the EU.

France is one of many countries where euroscepticism has been on the march in recent years, headed by the leader of right-wing nationalist party – National Rally – previously known as the National Front. Marine Le Pen has become one of the most prominent critics of the EU and was therefore delighted to see Britain vote to leave the bloc in 2016's referendum. Following the referendum, Ms Le Pen hailed the result and her party ramped up talk of France making its own departure from the EU. She said: “Victory for Freedom! As I have been asking for years, we must now have the same referendum in France and EU countries. DON'T MISS:
