A man wearing a blue collared shirt and black suit stepped in to prevent the Remain campaigner from broadcasting his anti-Brexit message during the interview. The pair can be seen trying to outsmart each other in the background as the British MEP discussed Theresa May's plans to outline her strategy for a no deal Brexit. The activist appeared behind Mr Batten at the beginning of the RT UK panel waving a European flag, a red sign reading 'Brexit: is it worth it?' and wearing an EU-blue bowler hat with the writing 'stop Brexit." The man in the black suit is then seen appearing in front of the sign and walking in front of it to block it whenever the Remain campaigner moved.

Mr Batten appeared unphased by the exchange behind him, carrying on with his slap down of Mrs May's Brexit plans. The leader of Ukip said: "Mrs May is going to unveil her kind of no deal scenario of how we’d leave the European Union. It’s a bit overdue. "I think what she’s really doing is softening us up to her ‘not really leaving the EU’ withdrawal agreement. No deal should have been a default position and they should have this worked out a long time ago. "I wrote a book about this in 2014, produced an EU exit plan in the middle of 2017. If I can do it, I’m sure the Government with its civil servants could."
