Well of course the head rat would leave the sinking ship. It’s inevitable, you know. They try and dress it up as a heroic exit — no, it’s conceding defeat, it’s putting the tail between their legs and as rats do, leaving the sinking ship.
Obviously the Brexit fallout has spread far further that just the UK — it has sent shockwaves through the EU and affected markets across the globe. It has also reached the press junket for the new The Legend of Tarzan film.

Of course, all this is delivered in his brilliant Austrian accent, making it all sound even more venomous.
