“I haven’t given up all my free time.”
Reasoning & Evidence09 Jul 2026
This is a subjective statement about Farage’s personal schedule, not a publicly measurable fact. Public records do show that in late 2011 he was serving as a UKIP MEP in the European Parliament and had been re-elected UKIP leader in November 2010, so he clearly had substantial commitments, but public evidence cannot establish whether he had given up "all" of his free time.

From article
I’m not mucking about. I haven’t given up a successful career, I haven’t given up all my free time, I haven’t given up all my hobbies just because I want to be a politician. I’m in this out of conviction.
