Mr Farage dramatically quit as an MP in July to trigger a by-election in his Clacton constituency following weeks of scrutiny over his personal finances The Reform UK leader, pictured showing off his Union Jack socks at his party's conference in Birmingham, said his loved ones 'would rather I packed it up and walked away' Mr Farage's partner Laure Ferrari is pictured watching his keynote speech at Reform's conference on FridayTwo of Mr Farage's senior aides were suspended as Reform's conference in Birmingham was about to get underway after undercover filming appeared to show them discussing how to disguise foreign donations to the party.During a series of TV interviews at the party conference, Mr Farage acknowledged a 'bad period' and admitted his 'usual quite jolly demeanour was perhaps absent' over the summer.'For the first time, really, in my political career, I haven't got my family's support,' the Reform leader told the BBC's Laura Kuenssberg.'They would rather I packed it up and walked away. So yeah, it's been difficult.'Asked whether he had considered quitting, Mr Farage added: 'No, I haven't. I haven't, but when you've got your family begging you to, it's not easy.'But I think we're through that now. I believe we're through that bad period. I think the general public do understand that I have got some unusual circumstances that others don't have to deal with.'And yeah, we're back here [in Birmingham]. It's a big conference, an energetic conference.'Mr Farage's by-election victory in Clacton came shortly after the killing of Ann Widdecombe, the former Tory minister who defected to Reform, which sparked fresh alarm over the safety of well-known politicians.Her shock death came while Reform faced its most turbulent time since Mr Farage's return as party leader just before the 2024 general election.Asked if he had considered standing down amid the furious row over his finances, Mr Farage told ITV's Robert Peston: 'No, I wasn't thinking of quitting.'But I'll tell you what happened and a lot of people noticed over the summer that my usual quite jolly demeanour was perhaps absent. And I, you know, accept that. I accept that.'But he also told the broadcaster: 'I have had, I'll be honest, you know when your own family start to turn on you because of what you do, some very thoughtful moments. 'Very, very thoughtful moments.'He continued: 'I didn't get that close to quitting. But, I think that sense of upset and exasperation was there.'Mr Farage said he expected to face more investigations after Reform's conference was overshadowed by the latest donations row.He again insisted his party had broken no laws after a report by Verbatim, a group of investigative reporters, which was screened on the Channel 4 News, showed senior Reform figures discussing how to disguise donations from foreign sources.Accepting donations from a foreign company, including donations in kind such as polling, could constitute a criminal offence, and the party has been reported to the police.Mr Farage said he was certain Reform had accepted no illicit donations and dismissed claims by one of his long-term aides, Dan Jukes, that the party had previously concealed the origin of some donations as 'loose pub talk'. In his closing speech at Reform's conference on Saturday afternoon, Mr Farage told party members that 'sometimes we will get things wrong and get a bit of a kicking for it' Reform's senior figures closed the party's three-day conference by singing the national anthem on stage'You come back and see me in six months, there'll be five more investigations. It won't end,' he told ITV.He added 'the establishment' are 'not going to give us a free ride'. 'They will do anything they can,' he continued.In his closing speech at Reform's conference on Saturday afternoon, Mr Farage told party members that 'sometimes we will get things wrong and get a bit of a kicking for it'.'I'll tell you what we learned yesterday and today,' he said. 'There will be times in this journey when there are good days and times when there are difficult days.'More often than not, things will be put upon us that are unfair.'But sometimes we will make mistakes, sometimes we will get things wrong and get a bit of a kicking for it.'But what this conference has shown is whatever you throw at the leadership, whatever you throw at you, the people's army, we immediately pick ourselves up, dust ourselves down and start all over again.'Mr Farage also told Reform members he wanted to win the next general election and become prime minister 'because I believe I can lead us into the kind of fundamental change of direction that this country needs'.'And if we don't take it, well, it might be our last chance to turn the country around before we head for terrible and frankly terminal decline,' he added. 'That is why I am here, that is why I am doing this job.'
