Nigel Farage has slammed the UK’s “globalist” post-Brexit era government as being a “disaster” for businesses.

The UK government’s regime of high taxation, large-scale regulation and globalist-leaning policies have been a “disaster” for companies in post-Brexit Britain, Nigel Farage has said.

Such a denunciation comes at a time when the UK government is defending its business credentials after the country’s competition regulator barred Microsoft from completing its purchase of games publisher Activision Blizzard.
