Nigel Farage said Andy Burnham’s comments about potentially rejoining the EU had given him “the biggest boost in [his] career”. We look at why — even if it seems counter-intuitive — another Brexit debate could actually hurt Farage.

Before the Brexit referendum, a whole bunch of MPs explained to Britain how the economy would collapse post-Brexit. While Brexit hasn’t yet happened, some did say that the destruction would take place immediately after the vote; which didn’t exactly happen as expected. So in this video, we explain what’s happened and why the economy hasn’t done too badly in the end.

He’s the only man that save this country. I’m fed up with mealy mouthed politicians who for years have had their snouts in the trough. Since we left the EU, we are seeing just how ineffective and talentless these people are, when needing to run things themselves. Not so Farage. It’s quite obvious that the majority of people in Britain who are honest hard working men and women, who work long hours for inadequate pay, are overlooked in favour of the squealing bitching minorities. I’m fed up with these fawning apologetic politicians. We need someone with a backbone.

The Tory establishment completely misunderstood that they were elected by a more populist voting block. They betrayed their voters' choices and deserve to be kicked out of power.
Not that Keir Starmer will be any better.

It is beyond sad that bell whistlers in the 90's who had a vision and saw that it could turn out very bad for the EU when immigration and religious persons turn against the West are now right. But what bothers me at the same time and maybe even slightly more is the fact that the EU members while debating could never have imagined that a few wars would ignite a mass immigration to the West. All this time they have done nothing to save guard the gates of the EU. Pompous as they are they have been endulging in capitalism and lobbying for all kinds of materialism over the backs of the people who made it possible for them in the first place…..I am grossly disgusted by politics of the EU and of my own country the Netherlands.

The Tories will merge with Reform, and create a conservative party, with Farage as the leader.
@mikkolukas
December 18, 2023 at 1:24 pm
Electing him as leader, while he was the main instigator for the embarrassing Brexit chaos that the UK is living through these years, would just be bonkers.
The rest of Europe are already shaking their heads in disbelief of the UK circus – electing him, would just make us loose all belief that the UK would return to any sane state in any near future.
