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

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

I'm not giving up politics entirely - I'm just giving up leadership of a political party.

Donald Trump believes in nation-state democracy; Hillary Clinton used the E.U. as a prototype for a larger global union. Donald Trump believes in sensible immigration controls.

I spent 17 years inside an institution trying to effectively destroy it; can you imagine how popular I am in Brussels? I am the most hated figure that's ever been in that place. Every time I get up to speak, hundreds of people boo and jeer.

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.

Normally, when New York catches a cold, London sneezes.

The only people to whom myself and the immigration issue is toxic are to the well-heeled committed Remain voters, the sort of people who live in the Hannan and Carswell world.

I've always been the outsider. I've always been regarded as some extraordinarily dangerous figure. I'm none of those things! I'm just a middle-class boy from Kent who likes cricket and who happened to have a strong view about a supernational government from Brussels.

The people who get up earliest in the morning have the highest propensity to vote UKIP. I'm being absolutely serious about that.

Before, Europe was about treaties, laws and our sovereign right to govern ourselves. Now, it's about everyday lives.

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.

Potentially, I would be very interested in being a shock jock, though Ofcom might be tricky. Some of the American stuff is appalling, wild stuff, crazy conspiracy theories.

There is no Left and Right any more. Left and Right is irrelevant... We need big change. We've got to get back control of our country.

There are two completely different Britains. There's London, and there's the rest of Britain. Attitudes are very different.

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.

I suppose, being in politics, it wasn't a job - it was almost a calling. It dominated my life, so I do think that probably a lot of people around me have paid quite a big price for that.

Whatever my faults, I have some principles.

I've stood down as UKIP leader. I'm not responsible for these people anymore.

The E.U. referendum was promised by a Conservative Prime Minister fearful of losing votes and of mass defections to UKIP.

This Constitution does not reflect the thoughts, hopes and aspirations of ordinary people. It does nothing for jobs or economic growth and widens further still the democratic deficit.

My vision is to put this country and the British people first and for us to divorce ourselves from political union and re-engage with the rest of the world.

UKIP believe that immigration can be an extremely positive thing. But it has to be controlled.

But there's certainly only one thing I could never agree with George Galloway on. He's a teetotaller and wants to close all the bars in the House of Commons. That is just not on.

There is a debate in Ukip as to how strong we should be on the immigration issue. I personally think we should own it.

The Corbynista brand of politics representing metropolitan, middle class, pro-open border values is far removed from millions of Labour voters, especially those who voted Leave in the referendum.

The great skill of investment is to know when the right time is to get out. Getting in's easy.

I think I am quite a good listener.

I have made comments in favour of British people getting jobs over and above those from southern eastern Europe.

I have known several of the Trump team for years, and I am in a good position with the President-elect's support to help.

We've been very lucky to have UKIP in the U.K. If we hadn't been here, the BNP would be doing very well.

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.

The real question is, at the end of the day, do we want to run our country? Are we proud of who we are? Are we happy to be just a star on somebody else's flag, or do we want to be an independent nation?

Let's get real: would any American president seriously open up their borders unconditionally to Mexico as the U.K. has done to the whole of the E.U.? No chance.

I'm quite good at bringing people together.

Either you support the existing global elite, or you want real change and believe in nation-state democracy.

I think that politics needs a bit of spicing up.

It's a European Union of economic failure, of mass unemployment and of low growth.

Puppet Papademos is in place, and as Athens caught fire on Sunday night he rather took my breath away - he said violence and destruction have no place in a democratic country.

Greece isn't a democracy now it's run through a troika - three foreign officials that fly into Athens airport and tell the Greeks what they can and can't do.

If I was a Greek citizen I'd be out there trying to bring down this monstrosity that has been put upon those people.

Minimum sales prices for alcohol are a startlingly bad idea. As with excise duties, the effects are regressive.

The great and the good will decide what is good for us and make sure that we get what is good for us, good and hard.

It's hardly a radical idea to suggest that regulators and legislators understand the law now, is it?

I have been unsure, from the start, what the Occupy movement was all about, although I did suspect that it was just fatuous, anti-enterprise, left-wingery.

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

The banking collapse was caused, more than anything, by bad government policy and the total failure of bad regulation, rather than by greed.

I have become increasingly used to the Tory party mimicking our policies and phrases in a desperate effort to pretend to their members they are still Eurosceptic.

Maybe this will be the beginning of a trend? Flat taxes, cutting foreign aid, a referendum on Europe, grammar schools. Who knows?

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