Nigel Farage has repeated his conviction that the post-Brexit agreement of Great Britain with the EU is ripe for improvement, although he gave few details about which form that changes could take.
Speaking about the Today’s Today program Radio 4, the reform leader argued that the UK should remain “friendly” with Brussels, but avoids deepening the “industrial cooperation” that he claims would reduce the flexibility of the nation to to beg trade agreements with partners such as the US.
Farage’s comments followed a Yougov survey that placed his party for the first time before the birth before the birth. Asked whether closer ties with the EU could serve the national interest, he insisted that the Brexit deal of the Johnson era was “not very good” and should be refined. Nevertheless, he pushed back against every agreement that the British waters would open to promote European fishing rights, or, in his words, “steps … to take back to a failing European Union”.
Despite polls that suggest a public appetite for improved EU relationships, Farage said that the referendum result was “very, very clear”. He claimed that Great -Britain should look outside instead to guarantee stronger trade relationships around the world, rather than reorienting to Brussels.
