Nigel Farage has said he will not return to British politics after a general election is called.
The honorary chairman of Reform UK and former UKIP leader said he thought “long and hard” about whether he should become an MP, but said it was “not the right time”.
Farage said that while the general election is important, the US election in November “has enormous global significance”, which is why he chose to “help the grassroots campaign” in that country, as a “strong America… is vital to our peace and security.” “.
He added that the choice between Labor and the Conservatives “is not inspiring and only the reformists have the radical agenda needed to end the decline in this country”.
The former I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here contestant said he “fully supports” UK reform leader Richard Rice and urged voters “to put their trust in him and Lee Anderson”, the only MP of the party.
Farage was MP for various parties seven times, but lost each by significant margins.
