He left a successful career to become a founding member of UKIP in 1993 and set about campaigning for Britain’s EU withdrawal. UKIP’s major successful result in the 2014 European Election eventually forced the Conservative party to hold a referendum on European Union membership. In June 2016, Farage was a leading figure in the campaign to leave. This gained him the name “Mr Brexit” by Republican Presidential candidate Donald J Trump, whom he supported at a rally on the campaign trail.

In 2019 Nigel launched a new political party, the Brexit Party which stormed to victory in 6 weeks in the European elections. This lead directly to the resignation of Prime Minister Theresa May and Boris Johnson’s ensuing success.

In 2023, he won News Presenter of the year at the annual Television and Radio Industry Awards for his daily show on GB News. in addition he appeared on the highest watched reality tv show in the United-Kingdom, “I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here”.

From July 2023 until the present day, he has dominated financial and, at times, news agendas with his fightback against being debanked. This has led to the sacking of two CEOs and a promise from Government to change the law around political debanking.

On July the 4^th 2024 he won a seat in the House of Commons as a Member of Parliament for the Constituency of Clacton in Essex, England. The result was the biggest ever election swing in modern times. Nigel now leads Reform UK.
