Brexit supremo Nigel Farage has issued a stark warning about the future of Brexit after Sir Keir Starmer admitted he wants a major renegotiation with Brussels at the start of his time in No. 10.<\/p>\n
The Labour leader has said that “as a dad” it is his duty to renegotiate Boris Johnson\u2019s Brexit deal, bringing the UK closer to the orbit of Brussels despite previous pledges not to reverse Britain\u2019s exit from the bloc.<\/p>\n
Going into new details about his Brexit plans, the arch-Remainer\u2019s comments were picked up on by the Financial Times at a top meeting of centre-left leaders from around the world in Canada.<\/p>\n
Mr Farage has now warned that two years into Sir Keir\u2019s potential Labour government, \u201cit will Brexit In Name Only\u201d.<\/p>\n
The former Brexit Party leader slammed the Tories for allowing Keir Starmer to get to this point, however, adding they \u201chave made it easy for [Labour] by not diverging enough\u201d.<\/p>\n
Taking to X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, he wrote: “Two years into a Labour government it will Brexit In Name Only. The Tories have made it easy for them by not diverging enough.”<\/p>\n

I think about those future generations when I say that.<\/p>\n \u201cI say that as a dad. I\u2019ve got a 15-year-old boy and a 12-year-old girl.
