He said: “Anything is possible if enough decent people are prepared to stand up against the establishment.”

Mr Farage condemned President Barack Obama’s decision to intervene in the EU referendum and urge Britons to vote Remain.

“I could not possibly tell you how to vote in this election,” he said. “But I will say this, if I was an American citizen I wouldn’t vote for Hillary Clinton if you paid me.”
