Brexit advocate-in-chief Nigel Farage handed European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker a pair of Union Jack socks ahead of his State of the Union speech.

The gift came in a small green box and while Juncker seemed to accept it in the same tongue-in-cheek manner in which it was offered, he didn't open the present straight away, instead handing it to a member of his staff.
