In an exclusive poll for GB News membership readers, an overwhelming majority (87 per cent) of the 1,183 voters thought Nigel Farage should return to frontline politics, while just 11 per cent thought the ex-Brexit Party leader should steer clear. A further two per cent said they did not know.

"Maybe it was the right moment to do it,” he said. “But then I thought - why spoil a lovely booze up,” he said.

“So on this 60th birthday, I have to tell you that I genuinely have not yet made up my mind.

“I am beginning to form in my mind what I think the right thing to do is. And I will say what I am going to do over the course of the next few weeks.”
