Former Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage says the United Kingdom is preparing for three-hour-long blocks of energy blackouts next summer.

“It’s not just me and a handful of people whistling in the wind as it were, no it’s now official – the government are warning us we face three hours a day total blackouts,” he told Sky News host Paul Murray.

“No energy, no computers, no lights, and this could be happening as soon as February.”
