1: King of Chaos: Nick Clegg interviews NIGEL FARAGE

Listen on

Episode notes

Are we living in an Age of Rage? On the first episode of ANGER MANAGEMENT WITH NICK CLEGG, the former deputy prime minister talks to Nigel Farage, former Ukip leader and one of the most divisive figures in British political history. A wave of populist anger carried the EU referendum for the Leave side – but what happens now?

What shaped Nigel Farage’s ideas? Does anger drive his politics, or something deeper? And why does he love chaos? ”Chuka Umunna said the other day that we had stolen [young] people's future from them,” he tells Nick Clegg in a remarkable 45-minute conversation. ”Well I very much hope we have.”

  • “In 1945 one country lost World War 2. It was us.”

  • “My politics has not been based on anger. It has been based on frustration.”

  • “The young people look about the European Union as being this bright shiny future… Nick, they will change their minds.”
