BREXIT and the Conservative Party are dead in the water without a radical change of direction, according to Nigel Farage.
He told GB News: “The one hope in this situation is the Conservative Party’s instinct for survival. Because if they go down this current course, the next election is completely and utterly gone, they will lose every single one of those red wall seats.
“If they can realise the only way to survive, the only way to avoid ten years of opposition is to change course radically and quickly then that’s the one hope. If they don’t respond to that, then I’m afraid Brexit is dead, because far from de-regulating, we’re actually imposing more burdens on some industries than the European Union. We have mass immigration, we have more than Ireland permanently cut off from the rest of the United Kingdom.
“I don’t believe Brexit itself is a failure, I believe the implementation has been a huge failure.”
In a discussion with Dan Wootton, he said: “I am speaking on behalf of ordinary Brexit voters, people who aren’t political people who live their lives, do their jobs, pay their mortgages and bring up their families. They voted Brexit because they wanted a new start in British politics. They haven’t got it.
“They certainly won’t get it when Labour gets into power next year. They have every right to feel that they were conned and let down by voting Brexit.
“The process of taking back control of our lives, of course, was the right thing to do. It’s just these idiots in the Conservative Party are just as useless as the bureaucrats in Brussels.
“And that’s the sad truth of where we are. But they’ve survived for 200 years. They’ve done it by adapting. They’ve done it by being chameleons. They still, if they can muster the courage, have time.”
He added: “We’re up against a very, very powerful establishment with their media friends who do not like being beaten. And that is why I am so disgusted with this Conservative Party.
“They took my narrative, one that I’d spent 20 years curating, one that I took abuse for, they took it, it led to an 80-seat majority, but we’re learning they never actually believed in it. And that is my real source of anger today.
“They can save themselves, they can save the country, but is Sunak brave enough and bold enough to do it? We’ll see.”
