Nigel Farage is renaming the Brexit party to an anti-blockade party

NIGEL FARAGE’s BREXIT Party has asked the British Election Commission to change its name to Reform UK.

The party contested 275 seats and obtained 2% of the votes, but failed to elect a deputy in the 2019 general elections.

Now it will broaden its agenda to include the coronavirus and will seek “reform” in other areas.

Writing in today’s Daily Telegraph, the Farage party leader said that the British government’s approach to Covid-19 has been “to terrorize the nation into submission.”

He claimed that locks don’t work and do more harm than good.

He said the UK should take an approach that is being practiced “largely in Sweden”, and claimed that his party would act against “consensus thinking and vested interests in Covid”.

Farage also made a series of claims about the number of people experiencing serious illness or death from Covid-19 in the article, as he urged a change in approach.

President Richard Tice added: “The need for major reform in the UK is clearer now than ever.

“A new approach is essential, for the government to work for the people, not for itself. The most urgent issue is a new strategy for the coronavirus, so that we learn to live with it, not to hide out of fear ”.
