Nigel Farage: podcast appearances and interviews

Nigel Paul Farage, born on 3 April 1964, is a British politician who has been the leader of Reform UK since 2024. He has held various political roles, including serving as a Member of Parliament for Clacton from 2024 to 2026 and as a Member of the European Parliament for South East England from 1999 until the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union in 2020. Farage was the leader of the UK Independence Party during two periods, from 2006 to 2009 and from 2010 to 2016, and was a prominent Eurosceptic since the early 1990s. He was a member of the Conservative Party from 1978 to 1992. As an MEP, he served as president of Europe of Freedom and Direct Democracy in 2004. Farage was influential in UKIP's rise, leading the party in the 2009 European elections, where it secured significant votes, and in the 2014 European elections, when UKIP won the most seats in the UK. This success contributed to the 2016 EU membership referendum. Following the referendum, Farage resigned as UKIP's leader. He co-founded the Brexit Party, renamed Reform UK in 2021, which gained support from voters eager for Brexit's implementation and became the largest party in the 2019 European Parliament elections. In 2024, he was elected MP in Clacton, but in July 2026, he announced his intention to resign amid an investigation into undeclared gifts.
