Farage Celebrates As He Outlines How UK Now Has “Upper Hand” In Trade Talks

Nigel Farage told voters while presenting his LBC radio show that the UK potentially has the upper hand in the Brexit talks.

Farage explained to listeners how David Frost has given the UK the upper hand in the upcoming trade talks: “He said he wanted us to be treated as sovereign equals. He said, we’d become, and this is the bit I couldn’t believe, an independent country, I mean wow, this is proper stuff!

“He said that if actually, if we finished up aligned, consent for the democratic process for the United Kingdom would snap finally and dramatically and that I think is an acknowledgement.

“Boris Johnson’s government knows they’d ridden in on a wave of popularity, they know if they fail on this, their support would melt away, just as Theresa May’s did.

“I think the speech Fost gave last night is the most significant speech given by the government certainly since the Brexit vote back on the 23rd of June.”

Farage added: “Barnier and all the others who insist that they cannot allow the UK on their doorstep to be more competitive than they are, I felt this on my last day in the European parliament where I waved them all goodbye with the flag. They’re more scared of us than we are of them. We’ve potentially now got the upper hand in these negotiations.”

Earlier in the show, Farage aired his concerns about Frost’s speech, he explained: “Now, I have to be cautious here. Because I sat in this chair back in early 2017 when Theresa May gave her Lancaster House speech, and I listened to words and phrases that I’ve been uttering for 20 years, and being condemned and called all sorts of nasty things.

“And she was saying them, and I thought, wow, this is it, it’s going to happen ‘Yipee’.”
