UK - Nigel Farage warned that the European Union have made a shock U-turn in their Brexit strategy and will now work to make Prime Minister Theresa May’s deal fail in order to force Britain to have a second referendum. “Barnier’s strategy at the very beginning was, he didn’t think there was a chance of reversing Brexit. He didn’t believe a second referendum was even possible. But what he did want to do was try and keep us tied to the EU single market and customs union rules – that was his ambition from the start.“But they have changed their mind. They now think that a second referendum is possible.” Mr Farage said the EU was aware of Mrs May’s struggle to sell the deal to MPs, adding: “It suits Brussels now for Mrs May’s deal to fail.”
