  • Britain’s main pro-Brexit campaigner Nigel Farage resigned as head of the far-right, anti-immigrant UK Independence Party (UKIP) saying he “couldn’t possibly achieve more”and now he wanted “his life back.”

    “I feel it’s right that I should now stand aside as leader of UKIP,” said Farage, who was elected as a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) for the party in 1999.

    Farage, who had led a separate grassroots campaign to convince voters to ‘Brexit’, had made numerous speeches in the wake of the result to declare 23 June as Britain’s “Independence Day.”
