Then there are the women. Farage’s first wife Clare, who nursed him after his car accident; his German second wife Kirsten; the long-term mistress Annabelle Fuller, who worked in his office; Laure Ferrari, the gamine Frenchwoman, aka “the love of his life”. They fall for him mainly because he’s funny. Farage favours the more Rubenesque lady, telling Fuller after their first tryst that her “arse had looked amazing in the moonlight”. Like many alpha men, it is only with women that he can unwind (something he shares with Johnson, who has virtually no male friends). EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: Dunhill heir Piers Dunhill-Turner in bitter High Court battle with his old chum Charles... Eight more small boats filled with migrants wrapped in red blankets and scarves land in Dover after making... This generated embarrassing headlines. So did the jailing of several Ukip MEPs for fraud. Rancorous feuds and expulsions regularly convulsed the party, often triggered by Farage’s intolerance of anyone who might compete for the spotlight. The affable pint-supper of a thousand pub-based photo opportunities ruthlessly purged internal critics and potential rivals. Taylor Swift's The Eras Tour movie is coming to streamers on a VERY special day next month - and includes THREE new songs

He thinks both that it’s inevitable – Oxford has always attracted an intellectual elite – but also that its influence is waning. He has in any case always tried to maintain a scrupulous distance from politicians.He has also been baring his bottom in the shower, which some show fans think he is doing on purpose to make a splash. As usual, he was acting the stunt. Early in the morning on the day of the 2010 election, Nigel Farage turned up at an airfield in Northamptonshire, near to the constituency he was contesting. He was wearing his typical pin-striped suit and a rosette in the plum-and-custard colours of his party. He boarded a two-seater plane, the idea being that it would trail a banner bearing the slogan “VOTE FOR YOUR COUNTRY – VOTE UKIP”. Farage wanted to fly in the passenger seat, even though no one would be able to see him from the ground and the TV companies never broadcast campaign stunts on polling day.

One word to describe this approach – if it weren’t a little pretentious for the Wodehousian world of Ukip – is Leninist. Many of Lenin’s Bolshevik colleagues worried that the party’s purity would be corrupted if they kept getting into bed with their political rivals. But Lenin’s line was why worry: they won’t corrupt us, we will corrupt them! Originally, Farage’s Ukip colleagues had argued that the party shouldn’t take up its seats in Strasbourg and instead should follow the Sinn Féin model of staying away (in that case from Westminster) to show principle. Farage disagreed: let’s go and see how much damage we can do. The answer, it turned out, was a lot, including to the EU’s generous expense accounts.

Brexit would not have happened without him, but it is wrong to say that it happened only because of him. The result could have been very different had the foolish Cameron not chosen exactly the wrong time to call the referendum and had not the opportunist Johnson decided to be a Leaver because it best served his leadership ambitions. King Charles will 'never reach status of the Queen who would always rise over 'problematic' family members, Omid Scobie says in new book Nigel Farage and I have one thing in common. It’s nothing to do with politics. It’s Dulwich. He went to Dulwich College as a day pupil, taking the train in from his family home at Downe in Kent each day. My first experience of working in radio was at Dulwich Hospital with the team at Radio Dulwich and Saint Francis. Years later, as I was quietly slipping away from radio into retirement, Nigel Farage was just beginning his broadcasting, a short lived stint at the once again excellent LBC followed by his TV show at GB news.
