Nigel Farage's Brexit party discussed in Commons: Farage must be congratulated, they run country!

MPs have clashed over the role of Nigel Farage and his Brexit Party.



SNP's Pete Wishart told the House that Nigel Farage and his like were to blame for the anti-EU sentiment in the Conservative Party now.



However, Sir William Cash shut down his argument blaming Nigel Farage for Brexit by pointing all the way back to opponents of John Major’s Maastricht Treaty.



Mr Wishart snapped: “I’m so grateful to the High Priest of hard Brexiteers. The reason that the UKIP and Farages, whatever incarnation we’re on now, have disappeared is because they’ve become the Conservative Party.



“It is almost impossible to tell the modern Conservative Party apart from the UKIP and Farages of the past.”



Sir Bill shot back: “The Maastricht rebellion took place in 1992, 1993, long before either UKIP or the Brexit Party was ever really thought of.”
