Mr Farage’s remarks come after the United Kingdom and European Union struck a new post-Brexit deal over trade involving Northern Ireland. “But the part that makes my blood boil is calling it the Windsor framework, using the name of that historic town as if in some way to convey to the world this is a really, really big deal and then to involve the King,” Mr Farage told Sky News host Paul Murray. “Before the so-called deal is even ratified by parliament, the King effectively is giving it his blessing.”
