Andrew Neil interviews Paul Nuttall: full transcript

AN: Paul Nuttall UKIP was established in 1993, it was to get the UK out of the European Union. You won the referendum, your side, last year. So instead of enduring this agonising decline in UKIP why not just declare victory and go home? PN: Well, we did win. As you said, we were set up back in the early ‘90s to get Britain out of the European Union. With the referendum we won the war, what we’ve got to do now is win the peace. The Prime Minister will start the negotiations with the European Union later in June, and UKIP has to be on the pitch, because if UKIP’s not on the pitch, then there’s no real impetus for the Prime Minister not to backslide, and I believe – I worry that she may backslide. I think fisheries or maybe there’ll be a deal on the divorce bill or maybe there’ll be a deal on freedom of movement.
