Nigel Farage and Alastair Campbell clashed in a heated exchange on Question Time over Brexit's legacy, with the Reform UK leader branding Campbell "the biggest loser in history".
The confrontation erupted after Campbell expressed disappointment that Keir Starmer's recent speech had not addressed Brexit, which he claimed "has done so much damage to this country".
Farage responded with clear disdain, initially uttering "Oh dear" before launching into a more forceful rebuke.
Campbell continued: "Nigel does not want to accept that."
Farage said: "You are the biggest loser in history Alastair, get over it, it was eight years ago move on. It is done"
Campbell fired back: "You are the worst winner because you have never taken responsibility for what you have won."

Farage responded: "We are independent, we are free and we are not part of that Eurozone anymore that is collapsing around its ears. Rejoice we are out."
Campbell hit back: "You are somebody who will exploit any problem for your own political ends. Brexit was a fundamentally damaging thing to this country.
"That is your one legacy and you don't want to talk about it. You know that it has made us poorer, weaker and hit our standing in the world."
Farage said: "This decision was taken eight years ago and it gave us the chance to control our borders and sadly this lot, the Tories, did not do anything."
"Rejoice we are out," he concluded emphatically during the Question Time debate.
The exchange highlighted the deep divisions that remain over Britain's departure from the EU, even eight years after the referendum.
Campbell maintained his stance that Brexit's negative effects were undeniable, accusing Farage of avoiding responsibility for its consequences.
The heated discussion took place against the backdrop of Sir Keir Starmer's recent speech at Pinewood Studios, where the Prime Minister outlined his vision for change and reform.
Starmer's speech, which focused on six key milestones including raising living standards and building new homes, notably avoided any mention of Brexit and immigration.
The Prime Minister's address came just five months after Labour's General Election victory, amid concerns that the Government has struggled to clearly communicate its objectives to the public.
