Nigel Farage has said if he makes a return to politics his "aim must be to win the general election after next".
Speaking to Patrick Christys on GBNews, Mr Farage said of the current Government: "The game is up, isn't it? I mean, all these arguments that ‘we’re a broad church in the Conservative Party,’ the public have woken up to the fact that it's a broad church without a religion.
“They don’t believe in anything; nothing.
“They are liars, they are charlatans, they are spinners, and I'm personally particularly angry because in 2019 I did them the biggest favour ever.
“I got rid of Mrs. May when they hadn't got the guts to. It was the Brexit party in the European elections that did that.
“I then pushed and pushed and pushed and pushed Boris to make sure we had the right agenda - ish - for Brexit.
“I then stood aside in 320 seats and gave them a bye, effectively, in the general election.
“The truth of it is, they put a manifesto to the British people in 2019 that they didn't believe in. It was a lie. The whole thing was a lie. They pretended they believed in Brexit. They pretended they’d cut immigration numbers. They pretended they believed in our borders.
“And whatever they think of me, on a personal level, there's a very large number of 2019 Conservatives voters who say, ‘you know what, like him or not, he's been consistent. He actually believes in what he says.’
“So they fear that if I was to return to the fray, they would suffer.
“The time is always now, of course. I don't know. I mean, I’m obviously slightly haunted by 2015: Four million votes, one seat. Well, what was that all about?
“I look historically at Roy Jenkins, the SDP and okay, it's 40 years ago, but the 1983 election was really interesting. The SDP get 25.5 percent of the vote and 23 seats; Labour got 27.5 percent of the vote and 209 [seats].
“So, do I want to throw myself something? Give up the much better, happier, more comfortable life that I have? Do I want to give all that up if it's a futile attempt to break a system that can't be broken and that's a really big consideration.
“I don't yet know the answer, but I feel it’s as if the pressure is being put on me everyday.
“Of course it's tempting but I have to see positive outcomes. My job is not just to be simply a wrecking ball. Everything I did in UKIP and the Brexit party, was about achieving that goal.
“And that goal was the independence of the United Kingdom, which I always believed was achievable.
“I might have been in a very small minority in the early days, but I always thought we could do it and you know what, we jolly well did.
“If I go back into politics now, the aim must be to win the general election after next. I have to believe that's achievable and I worry that our system makes it very, very hard to do.
“I'm thinking about this day and night. I’m having this conversation the whole time and working out what is the right thing to do. And if I say ‘yes, I'm going do this,’ that's kind of effectively the end of my working life. So it's a very, very big decision.
“The idea that my intervention will cost the Tories the election is for the birds: They're going to lose heavily anyway. Starmer is going to win.
“But we need to have a credible opposition to Starmer who can come back and win the election after that.
“Now the Tory party has been around its current guise since 1834. However, 100 years ago last week, Ramsey McDonald became the first Labour Prime Minister, replacing a Liberal Party that had governed for much of the previous decades. So, these very big changes can occur in politics, but they are once in a century events.
“I've got to decide whether that is now."
