Nigel Farage has accused British political leaders of failing to understand the “forgotten places” across the country which had wanted a “fairer deal” for the UK when they voted for Brexit. The Reform UK leader is seen as the protagonist of Britain’s withdrawal from the European Union and was speaking on the 10th anniversary of the seismic referendum result.

The decision to leave the union has split the UK ever since, with many of the supporters of the decision, praising the former member of the European Parliament, for helping the country reclaim its “sovereignty.” Some have even called for the controversial politician to be knighted for his efforts in the UK’s withdrawal. Others, however, hold him responsible for the ills of the British economy throughout the 2020s, with the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) estimating that Brexit will ultimately leave UK trade about 15% lower and the economy around 4% smaller than it would have been inside the EU. So what do you think?
