Pro-Brexit, anti-immigration campaigner Nigel Farage stepped back into front-line British politics on Monday, announcing he will take the helm of the right-wing party Reform U.K. and run for Parliament in the July 4 election.
The economic impacts of Brexit on the UK are still widely debated; however, most research suggests that it has had a negative effect, the extent of which is still disputable.
Nigel Farage, who helped champion Britain's departure from the European Union, said on Monday he would stand as a candidate in next month's election and will lead the right-wing Reform Party in a major blow to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
Like him or loathe him, Nigel Farage is a man of destiny. Without him there would almost certainly have been no EU referendum in 2016 - and therefore no Brexit.
Almost one month to the day of the next UK General Elections on the 4th of July, the political landscape is shaken by the unexpected return of Brexit champion Nigel Farage, declaring he will stand to be a Reform party MP.
Angry that immigration is still soaring and the potential of Brexit remains largely untapped, it's understandable Nigel Farage should want to return to frontline politics.
Former Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage is running in the upcoming July U.K. general election, saying that immigration is the "major issue of our times."
Kemi Badenoch hit out after Nigel Farage alarmed moderates by suggesting he will 'take over' the Conservatives after a heavy election defeat on July 4.
