Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage insisted the UK could still stop an EU army from forming after it had left the European Union. Mr Farage explained that an EU army posed a threat to NATO but there are steps that could be taken to prevent its formation. Sky News Australia Outsiders host James Morrow said: “In the next 18 months we could see Prime Minister Nigel Farage.

“Now, Brexit happens under you either a hard Brexit and Britain is out of the EU. “You have got the Brexit Party but what does the rest of the policy look like, especially around foreign policy? “How does Britain go it alone, are we talking about multi-lateral arrangements with the US, strengthening ties with NATO, how does Britain under Brexit sit?" Mr Farage replied: “I think Britain’s place in the world with Brexit is perhaps one of the key considerations that I have got, I’m thinking about it and debating it already.

“NATO is under threat, it has been a very successful military alliance and it has been there for over 70 years. “The European Union now want to build their own European army, they will destroy NATO. “I see an independent United Kingdom as actually being the voice in Europe saying: look guys either we start paying the bill for this or it is all over. “I think it is a message with our friends in the east will resonate.” The Sky News host then questioned what the UK would do if the EU insisted on creating the EU army and disregarded the UK because they were no longer in the EU.
