The Bunker – News without the nonsense

Daily: Making Sense of Nigel, with Michael Crick

Listen Later

Whatever you think of him, Nigel Farage has been one of Britain’s most influential politicians. His campaign to take the UK out of the EU went from a fringe viewpoint to government policy, but how did he do it? Political journalist Michael Crick joins Dorian Lynskey to discuss his latest book One Party After Another, which takes a deep dive into the life of one of Britain’s most controversial political characters.


  • “Farage is the most important politician of this century.”
  • “I wouldn’t write off the idea of this net-zero referendum happening.”
  • “You can understand why Farage admires Vladimir Putin, he uses many of the same methods.”
  • “The Conservatives were terrified of Farage getting into the House of Commons.”
  • “Farage’s GB News contract has meant fewer appearances on other broadcast outlets.”
  • “Farage is addicted to public attention, he would rarely turn down an interview.”
