Farage is for a complete separation from the EU, and then rebuild ties. I.E. the 'Hard Brexit'. Corbyn - if he wanted a Brexit - would go for a withdrawal from the EU but remain in the customs union and free trade area - i.e. a 'soft Brexit'. Theresa May and Boris Johnson's deal is between the two... Leave the EU, stay within the customs union and free trade area for a while until a new deal can be worked out.

Personally I say Bollocks to Brexit.
