Farage’s political future has been a long-running question in Westminster after he set up the populist Reform U.K. party in 2021 — before promptly leaving frontline politics for a lucrative career as a broadcaster and commentator.
But he has since hinted at a comeback several times, while Reform’s lesser-known leader Richard Tice regularly faces questions about a return for the party’s founder.
Pressed by the Telegraph on whether he will return to lead Reform — which only narrowly trails the flagging Conservatives in recent opinion polls — Farage said he has three options ahead of him.
“One of them is stick to what I’m doing, I’m enjoying what I’m doing,” Farage said, pointing to his work as a presenter on the right-wing GB News channel and his other side hustles.
“Staying as I am is a very clear option. Going to America, working with Trump to try and get the Western world back on track is clearly a very attractive option,” Farage said. He listed his third option as a political comeback in the U.K.
Farage has been a friend and ally of Trump for some time, and has interviewed the former president — soft-ball style — on several occasions. The U.K.’s most prominent Brexiteer has said he would happily serve as Britain’s ambassador to the U.S. under a Trump presidency.
