Arch-Brexiteer Nigel Farage has admitted the UK's withdrawal from the European Union has been a "failure" in terms of the borders, but stopped short of taking responsibility for net migration numbers.
The former UKIP and Brexit Party leader said: "That's not a failure because Brexit itself is a failure … the failure of Brexit is to be laid fairly and squarely at the door of the Conservative government, they have chosen not to use the powers that we have with Brexit." Report by Buseld.

In a seismic political shift, Nigel Farage's Reform UK has upended Britain's political landscape by securing 677 council seats and gaining control of 10 councils in the 2025 local elections. This unprecedented victory saw Reform UK surpass both Labour and the Conservatives, signaling a potential end to traditional two-party dominance. Farage's party also clinched a narrow parliamentary by-election win in Runcorn and Helsby. Capitalizing on public dissatisfaction over immigration, economic policies, and governance, Reform UK's rise reflects a broader populist trend reshaping British politics.
