Nigel Farage yesterday attacked Boris Johnson's deal and said that he would rather delay leaving the European Union than accept the Prime Minister's new treaty.
The Brexit Party leader also came under fire after attacking Jean-Claude Juncker for saying the EU should not agree to delay the UK's withdrawal from the bloc beyond October 31.
Mr. Johnson's deal offers a far harder Brexit than May's deal but falls short of the red lines set by hard Brexiteers like Mr. Farage

Politicians are insane, incompetent and impotent.
I told you this was Farage’s position for a while.....ie that while Boris would demand better terms than Theresa May’s ridiculous surrender treaty, it would still give away too much to the EU.
Without knowing all the details of what is in this agreement, I’ll say I tend to agree with Farage and a full return to sovereignty. The Brexit Party has no presence in Parliament since it’s new so he doesn’t have the votes to do anything himself. If Labour votes against it and enough Tory Brexiteers vote against it though, they could torpedo it. We need the details of what’s in it first to see how palatable or unpalatable it is.
Does Farage have a point. Is this a really bad deal?
I didn’t know they could keep delaying. I thought there was a hard cutoff date this month.
As I read this situation and someone will correct me if I am wrong, Parliament would not be prorogued and fought it. They then passed a law requiring Boris to return to the EU and get another delay or a deal. He has that deal.
If they reject it, he has fulfilled the law that they passed and, if nothing happens, they will get a hard Brexit.
This is all a con... Boris is the British establishment swamp, real Brexit will never happen....
and an election will never happen either.
once out of the EU, no matter what the deal, cannot the UK then barter a better deal... later...
Do the deal now. Deal with the Irish border problem later — and unilaterally if need be. What’s the EU going to do about it?
I assume that there was a referendum a few years ago only because it was such a major issue that the politicians wanted "cover" regarding whatever happened.And,of course,nobody expected it to pass.
Here they go again
Guess I don’t understand why the Brits don’t just say “Hasta La Vista Baby”, step over a broom stick or something, and declare themselves divorced from the EU and go about being their own sovereign country again.
I trust Farage more than Boris. Without Farage, there would be no Brexit at all..
exactly...
we will talk later, for now, talk to the hand and watch as the US gives us a sweetheart deal...
Farage wants to keep northern Ireland out of the customs union even though 56% of them don’t want a border with the Republic.
Farage is just sore because if boris wins then Farages career is over
that is the problem... they do not want to do what the people want...
tell the world, we are out of the EU and ready to deal... and see what sweet deals trump will give...
I think you are right
I thought Boris was supposed to be the British version of Trump?
Boris is no Trump and to get the Brexit the people voted for you would need a Trump.
Why you say that?
