Beth Rigby Interviews...Nigel Farage

Synopsis

In this interview, Nigel Farage discusses the recent record net migration figures that have sparked anger among conservatives due to unmet promises from the 2019 Manifesto. Farage, a prominent advocate for Brexit and former leader of the Brexit Party, acknowledges that Brexit has failed under the Tories, despite constitutional success in leaving the EU. He attributes the failure to the government's decision to lower salary levels for work permits, which he believes has led to an influx of foreign students and workers. Farage emphasizes that the original intent was to implement an Australian-style points system to ensure skilled migration, but he criticizes Boris Johnson's administration for not adhering to this vision. The conversation highlights the disconnect between the promises made during the Brexit campaign and the current migration situation in Britain.
