UKIP leader Farage says he will step down, by AAP.

The head of Britain’s anti-European Union independence party Nigel Farage says he never wanted to be a career politician and it’s now time to stand down. …

“My aim in being in politics was to get Britain out of the European Union,” he said. …

In a speech in London setting out UKIP’s strategy for the post-referendum period, Mr Farage [, 52,] said: “During the referendum campaign, I said I want my country back. What I’m saying today is I want my life back, and it begins right now.”

Shame, he should have hung around until it actually happened. Better article.
