Men are prepared to sacrifice family lives for successful careers in a way many women aren't, Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has said.
Speaking at an event in Parliament, Farage argued people should be judged on merit in the workplace, not on certain characteristics.
When asked whether most top jobs would go to white men on merit, Farage said that, in many cases, women make "very different life choices" to men.
"Look at business," he said. "Men are prepared to sacrifice their family lives in order to pursue a career and be successful in a way that fewer women are.
"And those women that do have probably got more of a chance of reaching the top than the blokes."
His comments came at a lunch with journalists on Wednesday, with Farage making a speech and taking questions on a range of topical issues.
As Reform UK leader, Farage sets the direction for the party of more than 200,000 members and four members of Parliament.
Farage praised US President Donald Trump's drive to scrap diversity, equality and inclusion (DEI) policies, designed to prevent discrimination in the workplace.
DEI programmes aim to promote participation in workplaces by people from a range of backgrounds.
Their backers say they address historical or ongoing discrimination and underrepresentation of certain groups, including racial minorities, but critics argue such programmes can themselves be discriminatory.
Asked why the world of business had been dominated by white men in the past, Farage said: "Because the country was white men, the country of business was white men.
He added: "Men went to work, women stayed at home and brought up kids. The world has evolved and changed since then.
"The world is changing. The world is changing. Women in work. Changes in population.

Women are different than men on this point. Women want a varied life, while men are singularly purposed towards their goal or reason for being.
Or providing for their families.
Women and men will always be different, but Nigel would do well to take his foot out of his mouth at this point.
Either way women arent happy with men
If men work long hours for career and money for family, women hate them. Never around. Having “fun” at work. Doesnt pay attention to me. Such women feel justified then having affair with personal trainer. Women divorce them.
If men spend more time with family, dont ignore them, involved with kids, women complain men arent ambitious enohgh, aren’t getting promotions, look at our friends new (whatever),... women hates the men again. Feels cheated, deserves more, has affair with richer guy, divorces husband.
Either way, not good for the guy.
Women want baked ice.
Yeah to support our wives;-)

Wash, rinse, repeat and divorce attorney get a new BMW.
“Having ‘fun’ at work.”
When Mrs. Presidente occassionally complains how I “get to” go to work (fun), rather than deal with all the issues related to the kids and home, I remind her I
1. “Get to” concentrate and perform 10 hours a day, every day (regardless how I feel emotionally or physically),
2. “Get to” make hundreds of decisions, any one of which is subject to scrutiny and my termination,
3. “Get to” deal all day with REAL children, most of whom hold advanced degrees, don’t love me, and are far more adept at screwing up my workspace.
4. “Get to” deal with all the home issues on top of it because, “Good, now you’re finally home. I need you to help me...”
It is an eternal conflict.
You’ve had a miserable life haven’t you?
Many women don’t want a family, so don’t care.
Not really. Not as bad as so many other men out there.
What I do see is you can’t stand harsh truth about women and reality. And your response to it is consistently typical female shaming and insults.
And they are totally pissed at you for 1, not already knowing that, and 2, why do you hate them - clearly you do as you didn’t bring it to them...?
