Nigel Farage launched a scathing attack on Theresa May following her crushing defeat in Parliament, arguing she should now resign. After being asked whether the Prime Minister should step down, Mr Farage replied: “Of course she should.” The former Ukip leader told Channel 4 News: “If we’d gone for Brexit, if we had a Prime Minister that believed in Brexit, it would have been done and dusted by now. The problem is we have somebody who didn’t believe in it, and we saw tonight after she lost by that massive margin of 230.”
News presenter Jon Snow asked: “So it’s all Mrs May’s fault?”
Mr Farage replied: “She doesn’t want us to be an independent country, and that’s the problem here.”
Mr Snow remarked: “Poor old thing, she’s really struggled on this thing, she’s given her all you must admit.”
Mr Farage blasted: “She’s useless, I mean you can try hard and be useless. She is utterly useless. That deal didn’t suit anybody, it’s been defeated.”

Boris Johnson should have been PM, he’s not perfect, but he’d be a heckuva lot better.
Jacob Rees Mogg would be a good PM. He’s like a throwback to when Britannia ruled the world.
It was over for Britain when the Tories passed over Enoch Powell for Edward Heath.
Keep a flaccid upper lip there Ms May.
Daniel Hannan would be better,
That would be a path towards a second Brexit vote. Not smart.
May will win the "no confidence" vote tomorrow. All of this is kabuki theater.
“so that new elections can be held with a significant risk of Labour taking over?”
Every government in the UK is far left. Labor or Tory. I can discern almost no meaningful difference.
Brexit is dead if Labour were to take over. They will force a second vote, and scare people to vote "stay".
There is at least an opportunity with the Tory party to get to a hard Brexit - even though everyone will fold like cheap suits as the deadline gets closer.
It's probably a little late for that question. That's the sort of thing May should have determined before the negotiations with Brussels. It's her job. Or it was.
I like Nigel Farage. He speaks plain English.
why doesn’t Nigel Farange run for office? ]
I know so little about English politics- but I know people are liking him like we like Trump.
Farage is a great man. He is the Trump of Britain.
Yes, that’s right, make her eyes dart.
Nigel Farage is wrong... the UK will still Brexit on March 29 at 11:00 AM British Time - but its going to be a hard Brexit.
A clean break is what the country needs to move forward. It can still change it mind before then and stay in the EU under Art. 49 by simply canceling its Art. 50 intention to leave by March 29.
If it leaves, it can rejoin a new applicant and all its hard-won concessions and opt-outs it previously enjoyed as an EU member state would be off the table.
And a straight EU membership is a non-starter for the British public. If they want to stay in now, better get on with it.
A divorce is less painful than keeping one foot inside the EU and another foot outside of it.
For that reason, Brexit pretty much looks like a fait accompli.
That's what they tried to do the first time and it didn't work. Now that the people have seen how badly the EU has treated them since the original vote the margin of victory would probably be higher.
Britain would like to be part of Europe but Britons loathe the EU and have chafed under Brussels diktat.
The only way the UK would ever rejoin the EU is if it got special treatment again - to keep the pound, stay out of the metric system, be exempted from Schengen and get a veto over EU fiscal policies.
When pigs can fly.
That soft BRExit looks like no exit at all.
