Brexit has “failed” says Nigel Farage, former leader of Ukip and the Brexit Party and leading force in the Leave movement. He concedes the economy hasn’t benefitted and that immigration has not fallen as he and many Leave voters expected during the 2016 referendum. His admission leaves the door open to a political comeback.

Is Farage saying the UK should have stayed in the EU?

Not really. He agrees Britain has not “benefitted from Brexit economically”, but blames government policy for deterring businesses from investing here.
