Brussels police bundle Luke 'Ming' Flanagan down street after bid to enter invite-only EU defence meeting

MEP Luke 'Ming' Flanagan has been escorted by police down a street in Brussels after he tried to gain entry to an invite-only meeting of the European Defence Agency.

In a video posted to twitter, he said: "As an elected MEP, I decided to attend a closed-door, invitation-only meeting between Commissioner [Federica] Mogherini [who is High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy] and defence industry 'experts'. Of course, I had no invitation...I wasn't well received."
