Play all audios:
As Britain awoke on Friday to the news that it had voted in favor of withdrawing from the European Union, voters were introduced to their new reality with a stunning admission from Nigel
Farage, the pro-Brexit advocate who leads the U.K. Independence Party. Farage said that the Vote Leave campaign’s signature pledge—that leaving the European Union would allow for £350
million to be spent on the U.K.’s National Health Service—was a “mistake.” Farage’s mea culpa was made during an appearance on _Good Morning Britain_, where he was asked if he could continue
supporting that promise after the campaign to extract the United Kingdom from the European Union had succeeded. “No I can’t, and I would have never made that claim,” Farage said. “It was
one of the mistakes I think the ‘leave’ campaign made” > WATCH: @Nigel_Farage tells @susannareid100 it was a ‘mistake’ > for Leave to claim there’d be £350M a week for >

the EU partly on that bold promise, Farage repeatedly stalled, as he attempted to disavow the campaign pledge. “Do you think there are other things that people will wake up this morning and
find out aren’t going to happen?” Reid asked. Your move, America.
