Nigel Farage has become a very familiar name to us here on this side of the Irish Sea.

Before we get into his background, his present and his future, talk to me about what he's at at the moment.

He is another part-time job.

He's into cryptocurrency.

Yeah, so he's not just an investor then.

He's plugging it as well.

He's using his public and political profile to sell cryptocurrency.

I don't know much about it other than I launched it.

I heard it was very successful.

Yeah.

And again, as you mentioned, that's kind of the Trump comparisons again, where, you know, he's pursuing a political career, but he has a whole lot of stuff going on in his business life as well.

You mentioned there...

his prospects of effectively getting into number 10 in three years' time, which will be quite remarkable.

But there's a few steps along the way.

We've got the local elections coming up in the UK.

Where is Nigel Farage and his party Reform in the stakes there?

Yeah, and this is the strange scenario in UK politics where he got a substantial vote in the last general election, but that wasn't reflected in the seat numbers.

We have a different system here in Ireland.

He would have got substantially more seats in Ireland if he got that sort of vote.
