'I want to be Trump's ambassador to the EU!' Nigel Farage says he would accept a job from 'the Donald' if he wins US election - and he's already booked his flight

  • Farage has already thought of a role he could fill in a Trump presidency 
  • Interim Ukip leader says he'd do the job of Brussels ambassador 'very well'
  • Tells ITV's The Agenda show he's booked flights for Wednesday morning

Nigel Farage has said he would accept a job from Donald Trump if he wins today's US presidential election. 

And he's already thought of a role he could fulfill: President Trump's ambassador to the EU. 

The interim Ukip leader, nicknamed 'Mr Brexit' by Mr Trump, said he would do the job 'very well' having been an MEP in Brussels for nearly two decades.

Mr Farage is so confident Mr Trump will win the presidential race that he's booked a flight to the US for tomorrow morning, when we will know who has been elected the 45th US president.  

He is searching for a new job as he will finally be replaced as Ukip leader next month and will lose his €8,213 per month salary when Britain leaves the EU following June's historic Brexit vote. 

Asked last night if he would accept a job from Mr Trump if the Republican beats Hillary Clinton in today's presidential election, Mr Farage told ITV's Agenda programme last night: 'Well I have booked on the plane Wednesday morning, so we'll just have to see.

'I don't know what's going to happen, all I can say is... this election is very simple: it's rather like Brexit. 

'it's do you want a change, or do you want to stick exactly as you are? That's what it's all about.'

ITV's Robert Peston asked Nigel Farage if he would accept a job from Donald Trump if the Republican wins the US Presidency, to which the interim Ukip leader said: 'If he did offer me a job I would quite like to be his ambassador to the European Union'

Interim Ukip leader Nigel Farage made the comments on ITV's The Agenda show last night 

Nigel Farage, pictured on ITV's This Morning show this morning with TV presenter Selina Scott today, said he would happily accept a job from Donald Trump 

He added: 'If he did offer me a job I would quite like to be his ambassador to the European Union. I think I would do that job very well.'

His comments drew widespread laughter from the audience and even fellow panelist Jan Halper-Hayes, the vice-president of Republicans Overseas, couldn't hold back from laughing at the irony of Mr Farage being handed an EU-related job. 

Mr Farage has flown to the US several of times over the last few months to take part in the election campaign. 

He joined Mr Trump on stage in August at a rally in Jackson in Mississippi, where the Republican nominee introduced him as 'Mr Brexit'. 

FORMER TOP JUDGE WARNS SUPREME COURT NOT TO OVERTURN BREXIT APPEAL 

Lord Judge, the former lord chief justice, said it would be seen by the public as a victory for protesters if the Supreme Court rules in favour of the Government

Faith in Britain's justice system could be undermined if the Supreme Court overturns last week's controversial High Court ruling that MPs must be given a vote on Brexit, the UK's former top judge has said. 

Lord Judge, the former lord chief justice, said it would be seen by the public as a victory for protesters if the Supreme Court rules in favour of the Government.

He also criticised the Government for being too slow in defending the three High Court judges who decided last week that Theresa May could not use the royal prerogative to trigger Article 50. 

But he insisted the press had the right to criticise the judges and said a free press was as much a guarantor of democracy as judicial independence. 

Ukip leader Nigel Farage is planning to lead a 100,000-strong march outside the Supreme Court to coincide with the start of the Government's appeal. 

Lord Judge, Britain's most senior judge in England and Wales between 2008 and 2013, told BBC's Newsnight: 'People can march as much as they like,' he said.

'I don't think it makes any difference to the judicial decision but it does make a difference to public order.

'Let's say for the sake of argument the Supreme Court decides the High Court was wrong, it will undoubtedly be conveyed as a victory for the demonstrators.

'It won't be but that's what will be conveyed. And if that is conveyed, you've undermined the administration of justice.'

And the Ukip leader helped Mr Trump prepare for his presidential debate against Mrs Clinton last month and was the billionaire tycoon's guest of honour. 

But Mr Farage is set to play a prominent role in UK politics over the coming weeks. 

He is planning a 100,000-strong march to the UK's Supreme Court next month to coincide with its historic ruling on whether Parliament must be given a vote on Brexit.

It will serve as a 'reminder' about June's historic Brexit vote and is being organised by the Ukip-affiliated Leave.EU group. 

The march would start in Trafalgar Square and move down Whitehall towards Parliament Square and to the Supreme Court in Westminster. 

It is expected to coincide with the start of the Supreme Court's four-day hearing of the Government's appeal against last week's hugely controversial judgement that Parliament must be given a vote on triggering Article 50 - the formal process for leaving the EU.

The hearing is expected to start on December 5, but a decision is unlikely until January. 

But issuing a warning about the march today, Britain's former lord chief justice Lord Judge said Britain's justice system could be undermined if the Supreme Court overturns the High Court's controversial ruling. 

He said it would be seen by the public as a victory for protesters if the Supreme Court rules in favour of the Government. 

He also criticised the Government for being too slow in defending the three High Court judges who decided last week that Theresa May could not use the royal prerogative to trigger Article 50. 

But he insisted the press had the right to criticise the judges and said a free press was as much a guarantor of democracy as judicial independence.  

Lord Judge, Britain's most senior judge in England and Wales between 2008 and 2013, told BBC's Newsnight: 'People can march as much as they like.
