Nigel Farage was a founder member of UKIP, led the party for nine years.

As Brexit switched from being the obsession of a minority to the will of the majority in turn, in the 2016 referendum.

Our political editor, Gary Given, sat down with Nigel Farage to take him through some of the big screen moments on the U.

Well, Doc, two decades ago, three UKIP Emmy pees are elected to the European Parliament.

Faraj thinks this is the critical moment that started Britain's journey out of the U.

That was the biggest moment of the lot because it was actually getting elected to that place that gave us some kind of a platform.

So suddenly you start to appear on news programs.

Suddenly you started out invitations to attend events on DDE.

We we use that opportunity on dhe, a big, absolutely honest.

We used the wherewithal provided by the European Parliament to build a UK political movement.

And you're the one you got a real battles.

In his memoirs, David Caren says I wasn't all about Nigel Farraj.

It was something I could see coming down the tracks that had to be done.

You know, they did not wanna have this referendum.

They were losing support to us in such a big way.

They were losing good people to us out around the country.

On his biggest fear of all was that a number of MPs across the floor and join us.

I'm devastated by the door every time that night in garages, popularity increases nationwide.

I think I'd meet them and he tried to convince me that we should try and win the referendum to have a second referendum.

Is there a bit of truth in that relationship that he's?

He's sort of sitting there and saying he doesn't really want your about the place.

And you were saying, Actually, you needed to be the front man, That that's how No, no, I never I never said I know.

What I said was, that needs to be a big tent.

Boris actually did Well, I did speak to Boris.

All through the campaign are we shared notes and shared ideas have worked out.

But I think that those images of Muslims on the move and out and about in the campaign you would often hear the referendum voters talking about We've got enough of them over here, Send them home and they were talking about you must have been in different places.

We could hear it now 100 yards outside the studio, and you could hear many other things said, too.

But in terms of well, stirring that up look.

But the time we got to the referendum, you keep it already.

Virtually one English county Council election.

And we done that talking about immigration off wipe off white Roman Catholics.
