Farage says that Brexit has failed.

(RT)

Nigel Farage, a key figure in the UK's vote to leave the EU in 2016, has argued that Brexit has failed. He accused "useless" UK lawmakers of letting the nation down, and claimed that the general thrust of Brexit had been stifled by politicians in Westminster and Brussels. He added that the exit from one of the world's most powerful trading blocs has had a negative impact on the UK's economic health, and that he does not believe Britain would be in a sounder economic position today had it voted to remain in the EU. The UK's economy has stagnated due to Brexit, the Covid-19 pandemic, and Russia's conflict with Ukraine. Data from the OECD showed that Britain is the only major wealthy economy to be smaller or poorer than it was before the pandemic.

The UK's GDP growth will be second-lowest behind Russia in 2023. Nigel Farage is the honorary president of Reform UK, the right-wing collective from which the Brexit Party was rebranded in late 2020.
