4. Take a role in Brexit negotiations

Mr Farage has confirmed that he will continue to serve as a Member of the European Parliament (MEP).

He said: “I will watch the renegotiation process in Brussels like a hawk, and perhaps comment in the European Parliament from time to time.”

Speaking about Ukip's role in Brexit negotiations, the former City trader said: “I’m not putting myself forward.

“I did spend 20 years in business and have spent a lot of time in Brussels, I might have something to give if they want it. If they don’t that’s fine.”

3. Stand in the next general election

Mr Farage could decide to stand in the next general election if he feels that there has not been enough progress on the Brexit project.

The politician has repeatedly failed to be elected to the Commons and he says that standing in 2020 is not on his “bucket list”.

But asked whether he would return to the frontline if there is no satisfactory Brexit deal, he said: “Let’s see where we are in two-and-a- half-years’ time.

“I don’t need to be leader of Ukip, I can be part of that 2020 campaign if we don’t get what we want.”

With considerable finesse, he could be of great use to Marine Le Pen in France, though it would take some masterful public relations to use him with minimal risk. Likewise to Geert Wilders in the Netherlands.

The more countries that exit, the better it is for Britain.
