Nigel Farage

I have to confess I do have a slight preference. I do think, naturally, that people from India and Australia are in some ways more likely to speak English, understand common law, and have a connection with this country than some people that come perhaps from countries that haven't fully recovered from being behind the Iron Curtain.

Post-Brexit, we got a chance to start all over again with a president in Trump, who is Anglophile. He is pro-British. He knows the things we've shared together over the years - the good and the bad.

For seven years, I had a business relationship in Milan, Milano. Dealing with Italians, just, let me tell you... Are we the same? Good lord, no! That's why Europe's fun - it's fun because it's different. A political project that seeks to make it all the same - it's ghastly.

I can distinctly remember being the only boy in my class whose parents had separated.

Having established that good ideas do indeed come in from the cold, start on the fringes and become mainstream, can we make any predictions about what the next move will be?

I like to think I've changed the centre of gravity on lots of national debates.

It's about businesses nervous about taking on school leavers because of a mass of red tape. It's about health and safety regulations and green fines.

Although I never wanted Theresa May to be our Prime Minister, I had been prepared to give her the benefit of the doubt.

I'm not for laws. We need a minimum of laws.

That Obama creature - loathsome individual - he couldn't stand our country.

British chancellor is telling the rest of Europe it must abandon democracy. It's appalling.

It's a two-way street: breastfeeding women should never be embarrassed by staff asking them to stop, and most mums will recognise the need to be discreet in certain limited circumstances.

We have a Conservative leader that believes in green taxes, that won't bring back grammar schools, that believes in continuing with total open-door migration from eastern Europe and refuses to give us a referendum on the EU.

Whatever my faults, I have some principles.

I think NATO needs to redefine itself. There has been no substantial thought about what NATO is for since the Berlin Wall came down.

It's the FSA and its plethora of EU bodies that's failed.

We can't completely isolate ourselves from international terrorism and the problem the world faces.

I'd love to tell you that everyone who voted Brexit felt like me about the country, about the Union Jack and the cricket team. But I don't think that there's as much romanticism in it, perhaps, as people think.

When an Occupy demo in the centre of Frankfurt makes world news, I shall hurry to join in.

I believe I can lead this party from the front as a campaigning organization.
