  "textContent": "\n\n\nNigel Farage has shared his “anger” over Brexit betrayals with GB News as he reflected on the 10-year anniversary of Britain’s vote to leave the EU.\n\nThe Reform UK leader spoke of the “sheer contempt” that he felt had been shown to Leave voters by the political establishment.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nMr Farage spoke of his frustration that the promises made to those wishing to leave the bloc had not been delivered.\n\n“I'm pretty angry 10 years on that, the realistic expectations that people had for less regulation on small businesses, for immigration to be reduced,” he began.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nTRENDING\n\nStories\n\nVideos\n\nYour Say\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n“I'm pretty angry that the Tories in particular threw that away,” the Reform leader added.\n\n“Ten years ago today, the British people, despite being told by the trade unions, big business, the Conservative Party, Labour Party, Lib Dems, not to vote for Brexit or the sky will fall in.\n\n“And they decided to make a political decision. We'll vote to get back control of our country.\n\n“In those 10 years, most of our politicians have tried to either overturn the result out of their sheer contempt for the people or not implement it properly.”\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nDespite this, Mr Farage was confident that Brexit could not be effectively overturned by any remain-supporting Prime Minister.\n\nHe said: “If Andy Burnham says to the country at the next election, ‘I'm going to take you back into the EU’, he will not win a single seat in the north of England. Simple. As simple as.\n\n“So it can be overturned. But he won't do it for political reasons. It's politically impossible to overturn.\n\n”The Reform leader also brushed aside clamouring among some sectors of the British public to rejoin the EU.\n\n### LATEST DEVELOPMENTS\n\n\n\n\n  * Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey leaves door open to coalition with Andy Burnham\n  * Andy Burnham issued Labour civil war warning as MPs plot to spoil 'King in the North' coronation\n  * ‘No mandate!’ Nigel Farage demands new General Election as he slams ‘flip-flopping’ Andy Burnham\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n“That is now a very small minority view. I don't think the country wants to go through the agonies.\n\n“What would it cost us to join? £20billion a year. A commitment to join the euro. Forget it.”\n\nMr Farage also issued a warning about rapporachement with the bloc.\n\nHe said: “The Tories didn't take us away from it enough, which means we're now aping EU legislation.”\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nAs part of a reset with Brussels, Britain is expected to adopt more than 400 EU food rules.\n\n“So we're economically tying ourselves again closely to the most failing economic part of the world. It doesn't make sense,” Mr Farage fumed.\n\nNevertheless, the Reform leader also revealed his plans to celebrate the anniversary of the historic 2016 vote.\n\n“I'm getting together with Aaron Banks, who put a huge amount of money into the Leave.EU campaign. I think Baroness Kate Hoey is going to be there and it'll be. It'll be a gathering of our tribe,” he said.\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n**Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter**",
