Nigel Farage appeared on ITV’s Good Morning to talk about Brexit, his recent trip to the United States, and his political future. This Friday marks five years since Brexit officially happened, and Farage admitted he is disappointed with how things have turned out. He originally got into politics because he wanted the UK to be independent, control its own borders, and make its own decisions. But he believes the government has not handled Brexit properly, especially when it comes to immigration. Many people voted to leave the EU expecting fewer people to come into the country, but he said the numbers have only increased under the Conservative government.
Farage also spoke about his visit to Washington DC for Donald Trump’s inauguration. He described the atmosphere as very positive and full of energy, even though the weather was bad. He shared a funny memory of Trump dancing on stage with The Village People and joked that the band, who once tried to sue Trump, are now happy because they are back at number one in America. He believes Trump is very supportive of the UK and pointed out that Trump had a 45-minute phone call with Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Farage said that Trump likes Britain because of his mother’s Scottish roots and his love for the royal family, British music, and culture.
When asked about Elon Musk, Farage said he respects him, especially for buying Twitter and promoting free speech. He admitted they had a disagreement in the past, but they are now on good terms. He also spoke about Tommy Robinson, saying that while Robinson has raised important issues, Farage does not want to be associated with him because of his controversial views. When asked if he would accept financial support from Musk, he seemed confident that Musk would support Reform UK.
Farage also talked about the future of his party. He believes Reform UK is now bigger than the Conservative Party and could win the next general election. He compared the current political situation to 1918 when the Labour Party rose to power and overtook the Liberals. He thinks something similar could happen again. He said his party has a fresh and optimistic vision and is not full of career politicians but real people from different backgrounds. He said he is going “all out to win” and believes in a few years, people will see he was right.
He was also asked whether he would ever work with the Conservative Party. He said no because he believes his party can win on its own. He pointed out that many people switching to Reform UK are coming from Labour, not just the Conservatives. He also criticized politicians like Kemi Badenoch and Boris Johnson for making promises in 2019 but then doing the opposite once they were in power.
The conversation became lighter when Farage answered some fun questions. He joked that he prefers full-fat milk over semi-skimmed and said he would choose Clacton-on-Sea over Washington DC. When asked about his reputation for taking on many jobs, he admitted he has always been a traveler but insisted he is fully committed to his role as an MP. He also pointed out that he does not claim any expenses, unlike many other politicians.
Farage also spoke about his experience in the jungle on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! He believes being on the show helped change how people see him. He said that people might read negative things about him, but after watching him on TV, they realized he is not as bad as they thought. He even took advice from Paul McKenna, a hypnotist, to help him manage his fears of snakes and spiders before going into the jungle.
When asked about his personal life, Farage shared that the most important event for him last year was becoming a grandfather. He said that having two grandsons born last summer meant more to him than anything else. He also reflected on life, saying that it makes him think about the future and hopes to spend time with his grandchildren as they grow up.
At the end of the interview, he was asked some quickfire questions. He said he would be a “traitor” if he were on the show The Traitors because it would be more fun. He also said he prefers extra hot peri-peri chicken and enjoys British TV shows like The Rovers more than The Woolpack. He was also asked whether he would rather live in Downing Street or go back to the jungle. He said that while Downing Street would have its own challenges, it would be an exciting place to be.
Farage ended the interview by saying that if you had asked him five years ago where he would be today, he would have said he would be retired. But now, he is back in politics, working hard, and enjoying it.
