Nigel Farage’s bizarre ‘young Margaret Thatcher’ claim unearthed – I’m A Celeb star said Iron Lady ‘would topple him’

An unearthed interview has revealed a bizarre claim Nigel Farage made about a "young Margaret Thatcher". The I’m A Celeb star, now 59, even said the Iron Lady would "topple him" in the 10-year-old chat. The former Brexit Party chief, who is currently in the jungle, claimed the former Prime Minister would have joined Ukip had it been an option.

Thatcher would have chosen Ukip over Tories, says Farage

In a 2013 interview, Nigel Farage made the massive claim that Margaret Thatcher would have picked Ukip over the Tories and would have taken his spot at the top. Speaking at Westminister, Farage said: "I can’t believe that a young Margaret Thatcher leaving Oxford today would join the Conservative Party led by David Cameron. I think she would get involved in Ukip, and no doubt topple me within 12 months or so."
