Brexit news: ‘Even REMAINERS want a no deal exit!’ Farage BLASTS May over ‘MASSIVE shift’

The former UKIP leader made the astonishing revelation on TalkRADIO this afternoon. He explained that a “massive shift” in popular option over the last few weeks had led to “every single region in Wales and England, with the exception of London” holding a majority for leaving with no deal. He added: “I’m not talking four or five percent like the referendum.

“I’m talking 15,16 percent of the Midlands and areas like that.

“Not just Leavers, interestingly. A significant number of Remainers are saying we have to leave with no deal, we have to honour the referendum result.

“We are supposed to be a democratic country and if we don’t carry out the will of the people we’ll never be the same place again.

“I’ve spoken to several members of parliament this week on both sides of the divide and neither of them was actually aware of what was really going on in the country. I find that astonishing.

“It is a willful betrayal of the greatest democratic exercise in the history of this country.

“And I have never known, in my life certainly, the gap between the political class and ordinary people to be deeper, wider and more fundamental than it is today.”

Theresa May has arrived in Berlin to ask German Chancellor Angela Merkel to back her case for a delay to Brexit at a crunch EU summit on Wednesday.

The Prime Minister will then fly to Paris, where she faces the tougher task of winning the support of French President Emmanuel Macron, who has warned in recent days that an extension to the Article 50 withdrawal process is not guaranteed.

The visits came as the EU’s chief Brexit negotiator, Michel Barnier, said Brussels could amend the Political Declaration on future relations with the UK “within a few hours or days” to incorporate the customs union arrangement being discussed in cross-party talks between the Government and Labour.

But there were signs of resistance in Mrs May’s Cabinet to compromise with Labour, with International Trade Secretary Liam Fox warning that a customs union would leave the UK “stuck in the worst of both worlds”.

Mrs May has asked for the date of Brexit to be delayed until June 30 at Wednesday’s summit, with the possibility of an earlier departure if the UK’s withdrawal deal is ratified.

But European Council president Donald Tusk is recommending a year-long delay, while French Europe minister Amelie de Montchalin suggested Paris may insist on conditions limiting British influence on EU decision-making during the extension period.

The unanimous agreement of all 27 remaining EU states is needed to avoid a no-deal Brexit on the scheduled date of April 12.
