Addressing supporters on YouTube on Wednesday night, Mr Farage said that while he feels “relief that we’re out”, he cannot feel joy, “because there are aspects of this deal that really are dreadful”, first noting the status of Northern Ireland, which is “in a different constitutional arrangement to the rest of us”, but particularly, the “worst part of the deal for me is fisheries”.
“There are many, many battles to fight, but the best thing about Boris Johnson’s deal is this: it ends the faultline, not just within his own party, but it stops big industry bosses from continuing to scream and shout. It ends the Brexit Wars. It means that we are not going to rejoin the Single Market, we’re not going to rejoin the Customs Union, we’re not going to be rejoining the European Union. We’re certainly not going to join the Euro.
“And there is now a widespread acceptance that this is done. It is the settled will of the people, and there is no going back. That — even if the deal is not perfect — that is a giant leap forward for our country.”
