The former Brexit Party leader slammed the Conservative Party's handling of Brexit and shared his disappointment at its inability to get a good deal

Nigel Farage has warned of the potentially devastating future of Brexit if Labour win the next general election.

January 31 marks three years since the UK left the European Union after a referendum which saw 52 per cent of voters in favour of leaving.


But the UK has since faced a number of challenges as it attempts to free itself from EU law.

Nigel Farage slammed the Conservative Party’s handling of the UK’s exit and said Leave voters have “every right” to feel betrayed by the Government.

Speaking with GB News’ Ben Turner he said: “The Conservative Party, who fought against it all the way, then landed us with a very bad deal.

“Boris Johnson told us it was oven ready. I mean, the oven wasn't even preheated, frankly, and I just don't think they ever really believed in it.

“In the end, they grabbed at it for electoral opportunity. So many of us, including me, feel very disappointed about the way in which the Conservatives have carried this out.

“The reason the turnout in that referendum was about 10 per cent higher than all the experts thought it would be. There was one piece of sovereignty that people really demanded was sorted out, and that was Britain's borders.

“If you look today, levels of legal immigration are far higher than they were as European Union members, let alone the 45,000 people that crossed the English Channel in small dinghies last year. I think people who voted Brexit to get back control of our borders have every right today, three years on, to feel betrayed by this government.”

Reflecting on the future of Brexit, Nigel suggested that the UK could rejoin the EU to “have a say” on EU laws that it will still be bound by.

He continued: “Well, I think the message that we're getting from the Government is that a deal is close on Northern Ireland, which will mean, I'm almost certain that constitutionally Ireland will just not be fully part of the United Kingdom.

“The message I get from David Lammy, particularly from Labour, is whilst he says, on the one hand we will not rejoin the single market or the European Union, we'll rejoin virtually every other group will align ourselves to their rules.

“So I think assuming that Labour win the next election, which I think is a fairly good bet, we'll finish up with a full BRINO. A full Brexit in name only.

"We will be independent, but our room for manoeuvre, if we mirror everything the EU does, will be very, very limited.

“That will lead down the path to some saying, ‘well, look, if we're having to accept EU laws, maybe we should be in there having a say’.

“The Conservatives won a massive majority majority on the back of a Get Brexit Done slogan. Having made a terrible mess of it for over three years, Boris Johnson's government had the world at their feet. They had the chance to bring opportunity and benefit to tens of millions of Britons, and they've dropped the ball.”
