Nigel Farage claimed he could deliver a Brexit deal and the burns are all you could hope for – the best 17

Arch Brexiter and failed parliamentary candidate, Nigel Farage, faced Tony Blairs former spin doctor, Alastair Campbell in the Good Morning Britain studio and was asked why he hadnt produced a comprehensive plan for Brexit. Goaded into a response, Farage claimed that he could produce a simple trade deal, but that the government doesnt want to discuss it with him – so he wont write it.

The pro-EU magazine, The New European, published an account of the exchange.

Nigel Farage has claimed that he could deliver a trade deal for the UK… but because the government will not talk to him hes not prepared to write it. https://t.co/Wc0tAvm4Qg

People were understandably sceptical, given that an entire department of government dedicated to solving the problem has failed to produce a workable solution. The reactions were more than a little scathing.

So either he's lying or he doesn't give a shit about the national interest.
Or both, of course.

Nigel also had a trial for Barcelona and Stephen Hawking used to copy Nigel's physics homework but he doesn't like to talk about it… https://t.co/LgjvvlV0Gi

Nigel Farage once developed a cure for the common cold.
But he's never told anyone about it as Brian Cox once called him a twat.#ThingsNigelCanDo https://t.co/ADmafCo2rT

I could write a bestseller but because the publisher isn't prepared to talk to me before I've written it, I'm not prepared to write it? https://t.co/VXfAVEXbon

I had quite an interesting weekend where I uncovered how to create an elixir of eternal life – but since Farage's repulsive visage makes me wretch uncontrollably whenever it comes into view, I figured humanity wasn't worth saving.

Sorry guys. Blame Nigel. https://t.co/WpP7EykmNt
