been supported by a huge number of people and now we have a prime minister saying all of the right things and i wish boris johnson well. if he keeps his promises, we will get a brexit that will put us in a completely different place to the rest of europe. we have a great future ahead of us. >> so we. >> so we. >> have to make the case for the benefits of migration, the benefits of migration, the benefits of migration, the benefits of free movement. i want people in this country to be able to go and work abroad. >> well. >> well. >> what did it mean for you.7 what >> what did it mean for you? what was promised? and in the end, what did we get? >> everything's in chaos. brexit has not been allowed to be delivered. >> what exactly are we benefiting from this? apart from rising costs in food. >> too many for a taste. change it. stop it! yeah. >> sore losers. >> sore losers. >> i would say so. really? >> i would say so. really? >> it's been a unique journey through british politics. and it began nearly a decade ago. turning your back to an anthem

of a pretend country that's trying to assert itself as a global player. >> so trying to federalise that centralising power, that taking power away from national government. >> i think we all feel a little older now, but did we take back control and did we get brexit done? don't miss a moment as we pick through every significant element of the biggest democratic event of our lifetime, as well as bringing you nigel farage's speech live from kemi badenoch constituency. he's speaking in just a few short minutes. i'll also be joined by a barnstorming brexit day panel live in studio. former ukip leader henry bolton, former conservative mp tobias ellwood and the writer and broadcaster nina myskow. this is brexit day five with me tom harwood. let's get going. now. the reform uk

leader nigel farage will be taking to the stage any moment now. but first we're going to catch up on the news headlines with tatiana sanchez. >> tom, thank you very much. while the uk is marking five years since it left the european union, and former prime minister bofis union, and former prime minister boris johnson has exclusively told gb news now is the time to double down on brexit. he also said we need a government that really believes in brexit and we need the british ruling class finally to match the bravery and imagination of the 17.4 million people who voted to leave. for supporters, the uk became a sovereign nation in charge of its own destiny. opponents believe it's isolated the country and damaged the economy. a tireless campaigner for brexit was reform uk leader nigel farage. here he is celebrating five years ago. well, today mr farage is holding a reform party conference in kemi badenoch

constituency. he's due to take to the stage any moment now. earlier he told martin daubney although it was the right thing to do, we haven't grasped the opportunities that could have come with it. >> there are so many things that we stayed aligned to, including most of their rule book. now, clearly what keir starmer wants to do is in terms of, of defence and perhaps even foreign policy ties closer to the european union. from the sounds of it, he wants us to start mirroring the single market rule book. i mean, none of that is good. but is keir starmer going to take us back into the european union? no, he is not. so i just see this now as being unfinished business. you're quite right. starmer was an uber remainer. rejoiner wanted to have a second referendum. the tories, from what i can see now, never really believed in it. so reform are the only people who can finish the only people who can finish the job. >> despite the economic disadvantages, conservative leader kemi badenoch is remaining positive. >> five years ago we had what

was the greatest vote of confidence in our country and as brexit secretary, i removed lots of eu regulations. i ended the supremacy of the european court of justice. but there is still a lot more to do, like a trade deal with the us. that's a brexit opportunity that we need to take. we started those negotiations when president trump was last in power. he is back again. the biden administration didn't want it, i think. keir starmer needs to look at that. look at where the opportunities are. that's where the growth is going to be. >> those are the latest headunes >> those are the latest headlines for now. back to tom. >> for the very latest gb news direct to your smartphone. sign up to news alerts by scanning the qr code or go to gbnews.com/alerts. >> well, a very good evening to you. at 8:05 on this brexit day. joining me in the studio tonight throughout the programme is the former ukip leader henry bolton, the former conservative mp tobias ellwood and the writer

and broadcaster nina myskow. let's start with you, tobias. this has been a tumultuous five years since the vote. but of course, five years before then, when your party leader, david cameron won that general election, guaranteeing that referendum. what are your reflections? >> i can't find a single brexiteer or indeed remainer, who voted back in 2016, not five years ago, but now almost ten years ago, but now almost ten years ago. that is happy with where britain is today and the fact that nigel farage chooses to go to kemi badenoch constituency to make a speech shows how party politics is clearly alive and well, but it's not in britain's interests. we've damaged we are damaged internationally, reputationally, and we've damaged our economy. and it's five years since the signing, but it also is an opportunity at this anniversary because it's a trade and co—operation agreement that's come to an end. would anybody go into the room in brussels and say nothing to see here? we like where we are today. let's continue. so the question for us

today, i hope that will advance is how can we advance the model of brexit today? >> hold that thought, tobias. we're going to go live to north—west essex, where nigel farage is taking to the stage. this of course, kemi badenoch constituency. nigel farage assumed the leadership of the reform party in the middle of the general election. he wants to win the next election. will he be able to? well, what he says tonight will no doubt carry great significance. let's listen in. >> well. >> well. >> what a pleasure it is to be here. in the north west essex constituency, which just. well, some may say by sheer coincidence, but it's not. nana happens to be the constituency of the leader of his majesty's loyal opposition, kemi badenoch. and that's why i'm here. and i'll tell you more about that in a moment. but first, of course, just have a think about this.

something truly extraordinary is happening out there, something remarkable, something historic, something everybody thought was literally impossible. a new political party that started off seven months ago with no representation in parliament whatsoever, that made its first big step on july the 4th last yean big step on july the 4th last year, with 4.1 million votes and five seats. and everyone said, well, that's it, they can't possibly go any further. and here we are this week with seven opinion polls showing that we now are consistently three points ahead of the conservative party and just a point or two behind the labour party. and we are achieving something. we are achieving something that is

quite remarkable. and we've been riding a bit of a wave. and you know what? if we keep riding that wave a bit more, we really will surprise everybody come that next general election when we win it. now. it is the fifth anniversary of brexit, and of course, i'm quite used to fighting against the odds. indeed, for much of my political career and many of those long years that i spent in brussels and strasbourg, everybody said to me, you're wasting your time. you'll never get anywhere. everybody agrees we should be in the european union. the labour party, the liberal democrats, the conservatives, the tuc, the cbi, the bank of england, the bbc. and you're wasting your time. and yet and yet we built up a movement across this

country which forced david cameron. remember him. i tell you what, the history books went. and that referendum happened and i was able to. i was able to go to the emergency debate in brussels the day after the referendum. quite extraordinary. i mean, i got on eurostar. i got off at the station in brussels. i mean, everybody hated me. it was quite extraordinary. and i, i did call it an own country. you're quite right. i wasn't wrong. and i so enjoyed going down into that chamber. and there was jean—claude juncker, the president of the european commission, a man whose drinking habhs commission, a man whose drinking habits made me look like a methodist. i was able to get up and say, when i came here 17.5 years ago, i said that i would
