He also needs to take note that even the likes of Farage see Brexit as a failure.
I’ve seen a few people say similar to that on this thread; it could be a misunderstanding and it could misinform others. As I understand it Farage doesn’t regret Brexit but instead believes that it has been inadequately negotiated and poorly implemented - or rather something along those lines - and hence isn’t working as well as it should be. Farage’s comments were made in a BBC News Night interview a few days ago and have been, I believe, widely misreported.
Here’s one report that might be of some help:

It's correct that Farage believes Brexit hasn't been implemented as it could've been and however much as a remainer it sticks in my craw to agree with him he's right and the UK could've negotiated a far better leaving deal.
But one thing's for sure Farage like everyone else but a few idiotic stuff shirted and unprepared politicians had no say in how we'd leave or what was to be the leaving deal.
As it is it's been a complete and utter disaster from start to finish,so whatever anyone voted,leave or remain,the end result is still the same,disaster for the UK.And will,sooner rather than later,mean the UK will be forced to renegotiate cap in hand,our Brexit deal with the EU,where we once had a chance of leaving with a decent deal and some semblence of honour,the UK is on the back foot and looking stupid for ever leaving,not only in the EU but around the world,that situation is all thanks to 13 years of very poor Tory-fill yer own pockets-government that's left this country in a terrible state.
Any remainer and any (politically) left leaning perfectionist who doesn’t like Labour should remember that a failure to vote Labour enables a Tory win. On election day, the best thing for any remainer to do is to vote Labour for a better future than the (hard Brexit) Tory party will give us - pragmatism is a wonderful thing.
That depends on constituency,there are many where Labour hasn't a cat in hell's chance of getting in,such constituences which will favour a LibDem MP or even a Green party member shouldn't be challenged by Labour as it's wasted effort.
One thing's for sure though the Tories have done far too much damage and need booting out as soon as is humanly possible and though upto present I've not a lot of love for Starmer I will be voting Labour as they're the only viable alternative in my constituency.
