LBC host Nigel Farage exploded with fury after BBC Politics Live panel guests discussed the idea of revoking Article 50 to cancel Brexit. SNP MP Joanna Cherry argued that the country needed
a second referendum as a result of the “Brexit crisis” that Theresa May has propelled the country into. BBC presenter Andrew Neil offered Mr Farage the opportunity to weigh in on the idea of
revoking Article 50 and stopping Brexit. Mr Farage said: “Look, what we have got is a Leave country - it is still Leave - and a Remain Parliament that is still Remain.” Lord Angela Smith
interrupted to say: “It is a Remain Parliament elected by the same people who voted for a referendum a year earlier. Undeterred Mr Farage continued: “Yeah, yeah that is right. “On manifestos
to promise to implement the will of the referendum. “What is really going on is one of the saddest chapters in the entire history of our national story and it is shocking.” The pair
continued to shout over one another but Lord Smith could be heard saying: “MPs have tried really hard to make this work. “Theresa May has failed them, failed Parliament and failed the
country.” The Leave supporter and LBC host began to get frustrated and offered a resolution to the option of revoking Article 50. Mr Farage said: “I tell you what, let’s have a showdown next
week. “Let’s have that vote, let's have it. Let’s give MPs a straight forward binary choice. “Revoke Article 50, call the whole thing off and ignore the greatest democratic exercise in
our nation's history. “Or leave at 11pm next Friday and become an independent nation.” Brexit uncertainty and failure have bubbled into outrage at the Government and Theresa May
recently. With the final agreement by which the UK will leave the EU still unsure, some are calling for Brexit to be scrapped in its entirety. An anti-Brexit petition has seemingly gone
viral in the last 24 hours following Theresa May’s speech claiming that the fault of Brexit failure lays with Members of Parliament and that she stood with the people. Theresa May flew to
Brussels on Thursday for the EU Summit as European leaders weigh in on the decision to grant an extension to Article 50. The Prime Minister is expected to bring her Brexit withdrawal
agreement before the House of Parliament again next week in a last-ditch effort to ensure the UK leaves the EU with a deal.
