Nigel Farage says Brexit WILL be delivered in the end – even if there’s a second referendum

BRITAIN will leave the EU in the end even if there's a second referendum, Nigel Farage has vowed.

The Leave campaigner said there could be "another great battle to fight" but that Britain would definitely quit the EU in the end.

It comes after Theresa May today delayed her crunch Brexit vote in the face of a humiliating defeat from her own MPs.

She said she would put it off to try and talk to the EU and get more "assurances" on the hated Northern Irish backstop.

But MPs from all parties urged her to call another referendum and put the choice back to the people.

Mr Farage said today that Brexit would definitely happen, no matter what.

He said in an interview with the New York Times: "In the end, we’re going to get there, don’t worry,.

"We may have another great battle to fight, we may."

And he vowed to be a part of it if it happened, adding: "If Brexit is completely betrayed, or we face a second referendum or whatever, it may be I’ll be out there fighting hard."

He described Mrs May as "a weak prime minister who is turning us into an international laughing stock" and said her deal was betraying everyone who had voted to leave.

But he did say that he admired her "limpid-like stickability".

"Ultimately, we can’t leave the prison unless the warder says so — and we’ve gone in voluntarily. It’s extraordinary."

The EU has outnegotiated Britain, he added.

"In a football game, you support England — obviously," Mr Farage said.

"But you have to sometimes recognise that Germany are better."

The PM will now go back to Brussels to fight to get concessions for her deal.

She's not ruled out re-opening it altogether, but has warned that it could have dire consequences for it.
