ER of all people admits: “Brexit has failed” | Politics

This addition was a hit to his fans!

The head of the Brexit campaign – alongside former prime minister Boris Johnson – admitted on British television that leaving the EU has so far brought more harm than good. Nigel Farage, 59, former head of the Brexit Party and former leader of UK Independence Party Ukip, said Brexit was a “failure”.

Faced with the latest economic data, Farage (nicknamed “Brexach” for his dirty anti-EU campaign) admitted on the BBC’s Newsnight that Britain has yet to benefit economically from leaving the EU. The reason for this is the politicians in the government.

In Farage’s language: “Unfortunately, Brexit has proven that our politicians are as ineffective as the commissioners in Brussels. We went down the wrong path.

“Very disappointed”

In this context, Farage criticized his former comrade Boris Johnson and his Conservative Party, which is still in government: “We didn’t make Brexit and the Tories let us down badly”.

Background: The British economy has struggled to recover from the triple shock of the coronavirus pandemic, the war in Ukraine and the turmoil caused by Britain’s exit from the European Union.

The OECD predicts that UK GDP growth will be the second worst among major economies after Russia. Originally announced as “Politics”. (owned by Axel Springer like BILD).

According to experts cited by the British “Independent”, British GDP – that is, economic output – would be 4 percent higher today if Britain did not leave the European Union.

Farage also accused the current government of not regaining control of the borders, as he promised before the Brexit vote. On the contrary: immigration figures are extremely high.

Asked if he was considering a political comeback to address the government’s failure on Brexit, Farage replied: “Well, I wouldn’t rule it out. It’s not high on my list, but obviously we’re not getting anywhere on borders or Brexit.
