Piers Morgan told BBC’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg programme that Brexit had been an “unmitigated disaster” and took apart Nigel Farage calling him the ‘snake oil salesman’.
He made the comments after this month marked the 10th anniversary of the Brexit referendum and claimed that the UK would vote to rejoin the European Union “in a landslide”.
Britain is set to have its 7th Prime Minister in a decade due to much political instability, which Morgan put down to Brexit.
He said: “I had an open mind, I voted to Remain, but I said ‘OK, Brexit is the brave new world, if it’s going to change our fortunes for the better I’d be the first to say great’
“And it’s been a pretty well unmitigated disaster. Every prime minister, every government, has to deal with events. This was a self-inflicted injury.
“When David Cameron called that Brexit referendum, he assumed he was going to win it. And who was it sold this to the country? Nigel Farage, the snake oil salesman.
“I hope he comes on your show next week and I hope you properly grill him about why should we believe you now?”
He went on to add: “The first thing Andy Burnham should do [when he becomes PM], apart from call an election, If he calls it and wins it, have another referendum.
“Ask the British public whether they still believe that Brexit has been a great success. And I think this country would vote in a landslide to go back into the European Union, albeit in a leading role to reform the EU.”
