He said: “It may well have been naughty of ITV to play that clip but hey you are still miked up, the camera is rolling and from a journalistic point of view I guess you are fair game.”<\/p>\n
Mr Farage compared it to the infamous occasion in the 2019 general election when the then-Prime Minister Gordon Brown was caught describing a voter “as an awful woman” and “racist” for asking him questions minutes before about immigration.<\/p>\n
He went on: “What it revealed was just the most astonishing level of self regard that Gillian Keegan has about herself and so many in the Westminster bubble do.<\/p>\n
“Talk about don’t get it, talk about detached, it was all about her ‘I am doing a fantastic job and why aren’t you praising me?’<\/p>\n
“Yet another over promoted politician.”<\/p>\n

I don’t expect anybody to feel sorry for me. I’m certainly not getting that vibe from you.”<\/p>\n
