Big businesses "virtually control and own the political arena", Mr Farage said, as he vowed to cut red tape and regulation for business owners "literally living in fear about the inspector walking through the door".

Speaking in central London, he told 300 small and medium-sized business owners that he understood the challenges they face.

"We get it. I've been in business, I've run my own businesses, as many of my colleagues have, as thousands of our members have," he said.
