Former Ukip leader Nigel Farage and former chief of communications for Tony Blair, Alastair Campbell, had a heated argument about Brexit on Good Morning Britain.
Alastair Campbell, who is now an editor at pro-Remain newspaper The New European, is a staunch and vocal Remainer.
He argued that the people of Britain are "changing their mind" and suggested they no longer want Brexit.
He commented: "The British people in a democracy, having yes expressed their will on June 23rd, have the right to change their mind. And I think they are changing their mind.
“As the Article 50 process starts and they realise that all of the things these guys promised - the money for the health service that Boris [Johnson] run around with his bus, staying in the single market, staying in the Customs Union they’ve all gone.
"When you actually boil it down, what we’re going to get out of Brexit it’s a little bit of immigration control, but not much, and it’s the European Court of Justice and I defy any of your viewers to name a single European Court of Justice ruling that made them angry.”
However, this angered Nigel Farage who accused him of "loathing democracy" and commented that people would still vote for Brexit if they were asked tomorrow.
He said; "The war is over. Come out of that fox hole, recognise it’s done. But you’re right about one thing - people do have the right to change their minds and they are in a big, big way.
"The last opinion polling I saw said if there was a referendum tomorrow 68% would vote to leave. And millions of people have realised the pack of lies that were told, that our house prices would collapse… the stock market is through the roof.
"Thank goodness the pound is down a little bit, very good news […] I suggest you have a look at what sterling was five years ago, ten years ago - the pound has been falling for years. The fact it’s fallen a bit more, actually for our exporters, is good news."
When asked about how this would affect imports Mr Farage said: “Do you know what that means? We’ll start making more things here in this country.”
