Nigel Farage issued a stern warning to Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Sunday, urging him against making a last minute concession to the EU, for fear of a public backlash.

In response to a question about stalled UK-EU negotiations, LBCs Andrew Castle asked if pursuing Brexit negotiations during the coronavirus pandemic was a "legitimate concern." The Brexit Party leader responded by claiming that the consequences of a no-deal withdrawal would be insignificant.

"Any disruption caused by Brexit will be tiny compared to the disruption to our lives that's been caused by COVID and the way the government has dealt with it", Mr Farage claimed.

"We know at the end of the day the European Union are battling to preserve their political empire", he said.
