The Reform UK leader said the Army needs to be stripped of political correctness and understand it is “there to kill people”.

He vowed to stop children being “poisoned” about British history in the classroom and said he would reinstall the sense that hard work is the key to success.

In an interview with the Daily Expresso, our new weekday news show, Mr Farage said: “We’re very much on the side of the little man, little woman. There’s five and a half million small businesses in Britain.

“No one has done them any favours, they’ve been punished and penalised for a very, very long time.

“I think in terms of the armed forces we want all the wokery gone, out. The Army is there to kill people, that’s actually what it’s there for, defend the country and kill people.

“And education needs absolute wholesale reform.

“I’ve really had enough of our kids in too many schools being poisoned about this country, its history, what it’s all about, and a much bigger emphasis on trades and skills, as opposed to degrees in social sciences, which very often don’t help a person in the workplace. There’s just a few little ideas we put out there.

“We also want to reverse the flow of high taxpayers out of Britain. If the very richest people who pay the biggest taxes leave the country, it is everybody else who has got to pay more.”
