Farage backs vote

NIGEL FARAGE’S admission he is on the verge of backing a fresh referendum on EU membership is the first valid point he has made in his life, Remainers said as they challenged “bring it on”.

The former Ukip leader suggested a second vote would put an end to “whinging and whining” by opponents of Brexit and “kill it off” for a generation.

But long-time critics said he should not be confident of winning a second bout. Downing Street ruled out a fresh vote on EU membership.
