31 Dec 2020 Two Conservative members of the House of Lords intervened in the Brexit treaty debate to express gratitude to a giant of the Eurosceptic movement Nigel Farage. Lord Howard of Rising, who voted for Britain to leave the European Economic Community in 1975 and the European Union in 2016, used the short time allocated to him to interject during the Boris Johnson EU treaty reading in the upper house to give a vote of thanks to two influential Brexiteers, Sir James Goldsmith and Nigel Farage. On a day where much focus was on Boris Johnson Prime Minister since 2019 Lord Howard spoke about the Brexit veterans who laid the groundwork for today’s divorce from the European Union 30 years ago, and the British people who voted for Brexit in 2016.
