Nigel Farage has bemoaned the state of his life after Brexit in a "soul-baring interview" with the Daily Mail.

The former UKIP leader told the newspaper that he has "a lot of aggro to deal with" after he helped spearhead the UK's departure from the European Union in June last year.

Farage listed a catalogue of woes as part of the interview, claiming that the level of "aggression and unpleasantness" he experiences in London is "constant." Farage said:

He can't go to the pub without security.

He receives verbal abuse, has been egged, and had the bolts loosened on his car wheels.

His four children are also being abused and are easy targets because of their "very unusual surname."

The MEP also repeated claims that he has been sent death threats.

Farage said he is "skint," despite drawing a £89,700 salary from the work he does in Brussels. Farage also earns money from his broadcasting work for radio station LBC, as well as other interests.

Things have got so difficult, Farage considered moving to the US. "I have thought about the States. Life is easier over there, but I am very English. I like going to watch cricket at Lord’s. I like my walks on the North Downs (near his home in Kent). So, we’ll just have to see. It’s quite tough," he said.

But he was defiant about the choices he has made, telling the Mail: "When I look back, I weigh everything up and think, 'If I had the same choices would I do it again?' Of course I would."

Asked why he was late, he blamed immigrants. “It took me six hours and 15 minutes to get here - it should have taken three-and-a-half to four,” he said. “That has nothing to do with professionalism, what it does have to do with is a country in which the population is going through the roof chiefly because of open-door immigration and the fact that the M4 is not as navigable as it used to be” Getty Nigel Farage's most controversial moments When he wanted to ban immigrants with HIV from Britain Mr Farage has used his platform as Ukip leader call for people with HIV to be banned from coming to Britain.

The Ukip leader called for the British army to be sent to France to put down a migrant rebellion. “In all civil emergencies like this we have an army, we have a bit of a Territorial Army as well and we have a very, very overburdened police force and border agency,” he said. “If in a crisis to make sure we’ve actually got the manpower to check lorries coming in, to stop people illegally coming to Britain, if in those circumstances we can use the army or other forces then why not” AFP/Getty Nigel Farage's most controversial moments When he said breastfeeding women should ‘sit in the corner’ Mr Farage sparked protests from mothers after he told women to “sit on the corner” if they wanted to breastfeed their children. “I think that given that some people feel very embarrassed by it, it isn’t too difficult to breastfeed a baby in a way that's not openly ostentatious,” Mr Farage said. He added: "Or perhaps sit in the corner, or whatever it might be” AFP/Getty Images Nigel Farage's most controversial moments When he said the gender pay gap exists because women are ‘worth less’ At a Q&A on the European Union in January 2014 Mr Farage said there was no discrimination against women causing the gender pay gap. Instead, he said, women were paid less because they were simply “worth far less” than many of their male counterparts. “A woman who has a client base, has a child and takes two or three years off - she is worth far less to her employer when she comes back than when she went away because that client base won't be stuck as rigidly to her portfolio,” he said Getty Nigel Farage's most controversial moments When he said he actually couldn’t guarantee £350m to the NHS after Brexit During the EU referendum campaign the Leave side pledged to spend £350 million a week on the National Health Service – claiming that this is what the UK sends to Brussels. Nigel Farage didn’t speak out against this figure and also pledged to spend EU cash on the health service and other public services himself. Then the day of the election result he suddenly changed his tone, saying he couldn’t guarantee the cash for the NHS and that to pledge to do so was “a mistake” Getty

Farage also spoke about the separation from his wife, Kirsten Farage, admitting that "when you’ve lived on the road out of a suitcase, year after year, fuelled by gin and adrenaline all sorts of things happen."

He added: "Things in relationships often run their course and what can you do? Do you do what millions of people do and pretend it’s all OK for the rest of your life? There’s a lot of people doing that. They’re miserable too, aren’t they?"
