Nigel Farage took a brutal swipe at Boris Johnson and Kemi Badenoch on the fifth anniversary of Brexit, accusing them of not truly believing in Britain’s historic decision to leave the EU.
The Reform UK leader said the country needs a government that believes in quitting the bloc so its full potential can truly be unleashed.
And he accused his political rivals of failing to make the most of Britain’s Brexit freedoms.
The UK officially left the EU at 11pm – midnight in Brussels – on January 31 2020, after three-and-a-half years of political wrangling that followed the 2016 Brexit referendum.
Nigel Farage told the Daily Express: “We know Labour were opposed, Starmer wanted a second referendum, Liberal Democrats the same,” he said.
“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.”
