Broadcaster and former Brexit Party member Alex Phillips has revealed the “inside track” on what led to Nigel Farage returning to politics. “The Party had actually asked me at one point to stand in Clacton,” Ms Phillips told Sky News Australia host Ria Panahi. “I had been having conversations with Nigel about it and then decided against it actually because I need to focus on my podcasting career.”
