'Prepare to leave EU NOW' Ukip leader Bolton calls on May to walk away from Brexit

Mr Bolton, who was newly elected yesterday at the
annual conference, said that as 17.4 million people
had voted to leave, the party had a “moral obligation to
ensure that we do.”
He launched a savage attack on the Conservative
Prime Minister who he criticised for wanting to leave
the EU “only in name” and adding that she had “no
intention of taking us out” following her Florence
speech plans for a two year transition period.
He said: "She claimed she offered strong and stable
leadership - oh well. Unfortunately for the country and
many of our previous supporters trusted her.
"So 14 months after the referendum, so have we come
any closer to regaining control of our borders? Are we
able to agree our own trade agreements? Our
parliament and our courts are still subordinate to a
foreign power."

He continued: "So Prime Minister where is your strong
and stable leadership because I do not see it.
"What did she actually say in her speech in Florence?
She said we were moving through a critical period in
history. The British people have decided to leave.
"Well, very good Sherlock. Very clever. What a
startlingly clever Prime Minister we have.
"But did she suggest anything concrete? She asked for
everything to stay exactly as it is. We will remain in
the customs union and we will remain in the single
market and we will be judged by a foreign court. Our
commitments to the EU will continue. But there is a
change - we will no longer be able to shape EU policy.

"What she’s actually asked for is no change, in effect,
until 2021 at the very earliest.
"Does that sound like leaving the EU in a determined
manner?"
Mr Bolton also took a swipe at the top EU mandarins -
Jean-Claude Juncker, Guy Verhofstadt and Donald
Tusk - saying their arrogance was as “startling as it is
rude”.
He said: "Far from a strong hand, the European
Commission pretty much dictated Theresa May’s
financial settlement offer to the EU and we now know
that Donald Tusk has a similar arrogance to others.

"I have a difficulty of a foreign diplomat standing in
Downing Street telling our Prime Minister that a British
Prime Minister has failed to make significant progress.
Can you imagine that happening on Moscow?
"I believe the arrogance of Jean-Claude Juncker, Guy
Verhofstadt, Michel Barnier and Donald Tusk is as
startling as it is plain rude."
The speech went down well with the party faithful
although there were some behind the scenes
grumblings.
One party insider told the Express.co.uk: "It seems Mr
Bolton certainly is living up to his nickname. I'm
struggling to think of anything that stood out in his
speech. Obviously he's only just taken over the
leadership but it seems that what he's offering is
rhetoric.

"Whilst Labour has momentum we have inertia.
"Perhaps it's just as well that he will be Nigel Farage's
proxy so Banks and he get can on with running the
party by themselves...at least until they get bored of
that.
"Fundamentally what ukip have is a leader with no
publicly elected mandate, no vote on Brexit and no
control over 20 MEPs."
As well Ukip financial backer Arron Banks attempted
to ruffle a few feathers.
Ukip’s Neil Hamilton wrote on Twitter: “Absolutely
delighted that @_HenryBolton is new leader #Ukip.
Looking forward to working with him to take
@UKIPWales forward #Brexit” with Mr Banks
responding: “Kiss of death”.
