Nigel Farage gives final news conference on last working day as EU lawmaker

Farage, leader of the Brexit party, says that Britain had a full choice between committing to the EU or leaving.

As the European Parliament is due to give its final consent to the EU-UK Brexit deal on Wednesday (January 29), the leader of the Brexit party Nigel Farage addressed reporters on his last working day.

On his last working day as a member of the European Parliament, leading Brexit campaigner Nigel Farage told reporters there was "no going back" once the UK leaves.

"The UK didn't fit, we'd be better off out," he said, describing euroscepticism as a settled view in the UK, where the 2016 referendum was won by a narrow 52 to 48 percent margin.

With just 11 months left of a status-quo transition period designed to smooth the Brexit process, fresh negotiations will begin soon on a new relationship -- covering everything from trade to security -- between the two sides.
