During a fiery Brexit debate on the Jeremy Vine Show, Richard Tice, leader of Reform UK, didn’t mince his words when he accused the Tories of still being under the influence of the EU. As tensions ran high, Tice pointed fingers at the government’s handling of Brexit, slamming their incompetence and suggesting they had blindly adopted EU regulations without proper discussion.
Expressing his disappointment with the government’s performance, Tice emphasized that while many Brexit voters still believed in the decision to leave the EU, their frustration stemmed from the failure of the government to execute it effectively. In his view, the Tories had squandered a golden opportunity and betrayed the trust of those who had supported them to deliver Brexit competently.
Jemma Forte, a political broadcaster, joined the debate, echoing Tice’s sentiments by highlighting the false promises made during the Brexit campaign, particularly regarding funds for the NHS. She cited various reputable sources such as Bloomberg, Reuters, and Goldman Sachs, all of which have labeled Brexit as a calamity.
The show also featured calls from Brexit voters sharing their perspectives on the matter, further highlighting the divisive nature of the topic and the ongoing debate surrounding the success or failure of Brexit. As the discussion unfolded, it became clear that Brexit continues to be a contentious issue, with passionate opinions on both sides of the divide.
