It's not new, he's been saying this since 2015, well before the referendum.

What's alarming is he's saying it at a Lib Dem Conference, and being loudly cheered for it.
This really isn't anything new for the EU, not at all, and if you think it is, you've not been paying any attention:

The election of Jean-Claude Junker as commission president was said to a 'crucial step' towards United States of Europe in 2014.
