Today is the day that many people,

levers and remainers alike,

thought that they would never see.

The day the United Kingdom leaves the European Union.

And whether you're gonna be celebrating or miserable

or merely hoping that Brexit is never talked about again,

you will know that there is one man

who's played a crucial role in forcing the referendum

in the first place and forcing the Conservative Party

to harden its position.

That man is of course Nigel Farage,

leader of the Brexit Party, formally leader of UKIP

and an MEP since 1999.

Now over the years, I have done many interviews

with Mr Farage, quite a few of them rather techy.

Today I want to do something this podcast was invented for,

to try to understand what makes him tick,

to understand what the roots of his Euro-Skepticism are

and why it is that he cares about this so much.

Nigel Farage, welcome to Political Think.

Thank you.
