Former Brexit Party leader criticizes Johnson's disorganization

Nigel Farage, the former Brexit Party chief, recently appeared on the reality show I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here and didn't hold back in his criticism of Boris Johnson. Farage called Johnson "shambolic" and described him as one of the most disorganized people he's ever met. He also stated that Johnson is entertaining, but only in small doses.

Clashes over Brexit and a controversial poster

During his time on the show, Farage also clashed with other stars over Brexit, specifically a controversial poster that caused tension between Farage and Johnson in the past. TV presenter Fred Sirieix accused Farage of demonizing migrants with the poster, to which Farage defended it as showing the reality of illegal immigration. Johnson distanced himself from the poster in 2016, stating that it was not part of his campaign and that he supports immigration.

Regretting an election pact

In a surprising turn of events, Farage revealed that he now regrets some of his dealings with Johnson, including a pact that helped Johnson become Prime Minister. In 2017, Farage withdrew Brexit Party candidates from 317 seats, allowing the Conservatives to have a clear run in the 2019 election. Farage admitted that he felt the need to "get it over the line" at the time but now regrets the decision, criticizing the Conservatives for not delivering Brexit as promised.

Questioning Johnson's relationship with the truth

In the beginning of 2023, Farage questioned Boris Johnson's relationship with the truth, particularly regarding the war in Ukraine. Johnson responded by suggesting that Farage may be speaking for the Kremlin, as they are known for their lack of transparency. This exchange highlighted the ongoing tensions between the two politicians.

Farage blames immigrants for being late

In 2014, Nigel Farage made headlines when he blamed immigrants for being late to a meeting due to traffic delays on the M4. Boris Johnson quickly criticized Farage's comments, calling them "feeble" and one of the poorest excuses he had ever heard. Johnson compared xenophobia to sewage, stating that it's a natural part of the human condition that needs to be managed and disposed of.

These clashes between Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson have been ongoing for years, with both politicians not holding back in their criticism of each other. It remains to be seen if their relationship will ever improve, but one thing is certain – their clashes make for entertaining television.
