What Farage means (but never admits and is rarely asked about) is that a race to the bottom has been squandered. Brexit as the route to promoting profiteering for his moneyed mates while binning protections and rocket-boosting exploitation (aka “deregulation”) for the rest of us.
For example…

Why the BBC handing Reform hours upon hours of unfiltered coverage of their press conferences every single week is so irresponsible

What exactly has been "squandered" about Brexit here and by whom?

Not only are SNAP benefits still being withheld for 42+ mm Americans, grocery prices are higher, & the Commander in Chief continues to lie about the reality.

Farage says leaving the ECHR is the “unfinished business" of Brexit and that the UK is "not sovereign” while we are in it.

But Farage lies. And Brexit is a shitshow. So, “finishing” it should fill us all with dread.

Sovereignty without rights is dictatorship.

Newsom: They did not expect California. They did not expect all of you. They thought we were going to write an op-ed, have a candlelight vigil, maybe do a rally. They poked the bear and the bear is poking back

Yeah, so where ARE all the ultra-wealthy megachurches while this SNAP crisis is going on? Didn't they get the memo about people needing help? Not hearing anything but 🦗🦗🦗

UK ‘to lose 600,000 workers to illness without better health support at work’.

Without good food, housing, healthcare people suffer. Need poverty reduction targets.

6.26m people in England awaiti 7.41m hospital appointments.

Privatisation of the NHS means money buys less, longer waits.

I really want my tax dollars to go towards feeding people and not disappearing people.

Given that the extremists want to parents to decide what books their kids read or lessons they learn, I’d like the same power to decide how my tax dollars are used.

Seems fair, right?

Nigel Farage says he wants to 'raise aspiration' by cutting the minimum wage for young people (currently £10), but reducing tax for young people earning over £100k. Presumably he wants them to just ask their stockbroker fathers to fix them up with a job in The City, like he did.

There's a difference between populism and being popular. Populist policies seek to divide us. Popular policies unite us. Recognising the truth of climate change, the threat from oligarchs and social injustice is popular, not populist. Recognising that Brexit is a disaster is popular, not populist.

The fact a *single* Amazon full-time employee requires SNAP benefits should be a crime. The fact Amazon is the largest employer of SNAP recipients is a disgrace. Jeff Bezos shouldnt be that rich; he should be in jail.

Early this morning, our city still plunged into darkness, I set off to walk the Brooklyn Bridge.

As the sun came up, we were joined by canvassers, labor leaders, elected officials, and working people — a movement to bring a new day to our city.

Tomorrow, we win it together.
Zohran, Tish James and Brad Lander lead a procession of hundreds walking across the Brooklyn Bridge at dawn. Tish James, Brad Lander, Tony Simone and Rita Joseph wait for the march on the bridge. Zohran at a packed press conference outside city hall, Tish James and others raising their hands in the air.
