Nigel Farage pocketed a £5 million Brexit reward. When he promised we would be better off, he clearly only meant himself. 10 years on, it's time to end the chaos and fix our broken relationship with Europe, starting by joining the single market.

The 10th anniversary of the Brexit vote is a good time to remember the man who negotiated the biggest act of self-harm in our history, selling out farming & fishing, erecting huge barriers to trade and making everyone worse off, just because he fancied a bash at being PM.

Terry Donegan is Reform UK’s candidate in the Dowlais and Pant, Merthyr Tydfil by-election next week. He’s a vaccination conspiracy theorist. Reform UK doesn’t seem to understand the danger it is putting people in by platforming anti-vax candidates. It’s a reckless pursuit of power.
