Nigel Farage announced his resignation as UKIP leader

Nigel Farage quit as Ukip leader this morning as he declared he had 'done my bit' by winning the EU referendum. 
He said the Leave campaign could never have happened without 'the People's army of Ukip', adding: 'I couldn't possibly achieve more than I managed to get in that referendum'.  
Announcing his resignation at a press conference in central London this morning, Mr Farage said: 'During the referendum campaign I said I want my country back. What I am saying today is I want my life back.'
As he announced his resignation this morning, which came as a surprise to many, he said he wasn't a 'career politician' and decided now was the right time to step aside, but will continue in his role as an MEP until Britain officially cuts ties with Brussels.
He refused to endorse any of the Tory leadership contenders despite his close ally and major Ukip donor Aaron Banks publicly backing the Brexit supporter Andrea Leadsom. 
But the outgoing leader said the next prime minister should be someone who backed leaving the EU and left the door open to him joining the negotiation team.
