Nigel Farage today confirmed he is considering a return to frontline British politics as he accused the Government of failing to 'get a grip' of migrant Channel crossings.
The former UKIP and Brexit Party leader said he is giving some 'serious thought' to a potential comeback.
He said his 'gut instinct is clearly not to do it' because 'taking on the Establishment in British politics... is a very, very hard thing to do'.
But he said the migrant crossings 'crisis we are facing is one of national security' and could prompt his return.
Mr Farage also said he has been 'approached by several high-ranking donors' in recent weeks asking him 'if I am considering getting back into the political arena'.
His comments came after senior Tories warned Boris Johnson a failure to tackle the crossings could fuel the rise of a new UKIP-style political party which could cost the Conservatives their majority at a general election.
