Nigel Farage says he will make a return to UK politics if the Tory government does not deliver a Brexit deal that the former commodities trader believes the country voted for.

The fervent Brexiteer, who is credited with persuading more than 17 million Britons to vote to leave the European Union, told Financial News he would return to the UK Independence Party, which he co-founded in 1993, or set up a new party made up of people on the right and left of British politics if the government does not deliver on Brexit.
