Farage
accepts people 'disappointed' by Brexit - but claims Reform UK could 'finish
the job'
Nigel
Farage, the Reform UK leader, has admitted that people are “disappointed” by
Brexit. He has marked the fifth anniversary by recording a video message for
Daily Express readers saying that the proper Brexit they wanted has not been
delivered because they were let down by the Tories. He says:
[Brexit
has] not been delivered and if I sat here five years ago I’d have said to you
in five years’ time I’d be retired, I’d be out, I’d have done my bit, my 27
years of campaigning finally paid off.
But I’m
back and I’m back because we now need people in charge to deliver the Brexit we
voted for who actually believe in it …
We know
Labour were opposed, [Keir] Starmer wanted a second referendum, Liberal
Democrats the same.
But I
frankly look now at Boris Johnson, Kemi Badenoch, all of these people, I don’t
think they ever really believed in it.
I think
they used it as a vehicle to win a general election, which I helped them do.
They never really believed in it.
They
always kind of saw it I think a bit more as damage limitation rather than an
opportunity.
I’m here
to say I’m disappointed, you watching this will be disappointed, we can do so
much better and we’re the guys to do it.
He is also
urging voters to let his party “finish the job”.
Another
anniversary, yet still Brexit has not been properly delivered.
The time
has come to let those of us who started Brexit in 2016 finish the job.
Reform
stands ready to do just that in 2029
And tonight
he is holding a rally in Badenoch’s North West Essex constituency to try to
show that his party has more support than hers.
