I asked this before, but how does he think he can ‘move Brexit’
Last time I checked he was not involved in the negotiations. What he will do is rally the hard liners and make a few speeches (if he gets round to it) but then the other side is doing exactly the same. It’s moved on a bit since he was the fly in the Tory ointment agitating for a referendum

Farage and UKIP had just one policy. A referendum on leaving the EU.
We had the referendum, we are leaving the EU, so they are both now irrelevent.
Farage will shortly lose his MEP cash cow, so has to seek employment elsewhere. Many people like to listen to him, so he is reinventing himself as a pundit. He will be preaching to the converted, but most people will just ignore him.

This reminds me a bit of his showy insistence in 2015 that he would resign from UKIP if he wasn't elected as an MP... which he technically did for all of five minutes before the party conveniently begged him to come back and he immediately did so.
He's no more straight-talking than any other politician is, he's just better at playing the game.

Farage is presently the leader of the 24-member UKIP contingent in the European Parliament, and co-leader of the multinational Eurosceptic group, Europe of Freedom and Direct Democracy. Farage was ranked the fifth-most influential MEP by Politico in 2016, who described him as "one of the two most effective speakers in the chamber"

Also, as he’s never had to worry about being held to account for a manifesto he can claim to be a ‘successful politician’ . In his one elected role he plays the court jester at Strasbourg ranting at the ‘eurocrats’ to the delight of his fans while coining it for more or less no work (no wonder he speaks so eloquently of the uselessness of the European Parliament: he’s lived up to it to the full!)
Gromit, //Let us not forget that Farage his still an MEP and is supposed to be carrying out his duties in that capacity. He is paid handsomely enough, but seemingly is shy of actually doing any work, or representing his constituents.//
If you want to be pedantic, as MEP he represents the South East. Since that area voted strongly to leave the EU he is representing his constituents – together with the majority of the rest of electorate who also voted to leave – and he’s doing it very well indeed.
//we are leaving the EU//
We are? Not from where I’m sitting.
