Below is Nigel Farage's full speech to the European Parliament on 28 June 2016 after Britain voted to leave the European Union

Isn’t it funny? When I came here 17 years ago and I said that I wanted to lead a campaign to get Britain to leave the European Union, you all laughed at me – well I have to say, you’re not laughing now, are you? The reason you’re so upset, you’re so angry, has been perfectly clear, from all the angry exchanges this morning.

You as a political project are in denial. You’re in denial that your currency is failing. Just look at the Mediterranean! As a policy to impose poverty on Greece and the Mediterranean you’ve done very well.

You’re in denial over Mrs. Merkel’s call for as many people as possible to cross the Mediterranean – which has led to massive divisions between within countries and between countries.

The biggest problem you’ve got and the main reason the UK voted the way it did is because you have by stealth and deception, and without telling the truth to the rest of the peoples of Europe, you have imposed upon them a political union. When the people in 2005 in the Netherlands and France voted against that political union and rejected the constitution you simply ignored them and brought the Lisbon treaty in through the back door.

What happened last Thursday was a remarkable result – it was a seismic result. Not just for British politics, for European politics, but perhaps even for global politics too.

Because what the little people did, what the ordinary people did – what the people who’d been oppressed over the last few years who’d seen their living standards go down did – was they rejected the multinationals, they rejected the merchant banks, they rejected big politics and they said actually, we want our country back, we want our fishing waters back, we want our borders back.

We want to be an independent, self-governing, normal nation. That is what we have done and that is what must happen. In doing so we now offer a beacon of hope to democrats across the rest of the European continent. I’ll make one prediction this morning: the United Kingdom will not be the last member state to leave the European Union.

The question is what do we do next? It is up to the British government to invoke article 50 and I don’t think we should spend too long in doing it. I totally agree that the British people have voted, we need to make sure that it happens.

What I’d like to see is a grownup and sensible attitude to how we negotiate a different relationship. I know that virtually none of you have never done a proper job in your lives, or worked in business, or worked in trade, or indeed ever created a job. But listen, just listen.

You’re quite right Mr Schultz – Ukip used to protest against the establishment and now the establishment protests against Ukip. Something has happened here. Let us listen to some simple pragmatic economics – my country and your country, between us we do an enormous amount of business in goods and services. That trade is mutually beneficial to both of us, that trade matters. If you were to cut off your noses to spite your faces and reject any idea of a sensible trade deal the consequences would be far worse for you than it would be for us.

[Laughter from MEPs]

Even no deal is better for the United Kingdom is better than the current rotten deal that we’ve got. But if we were to move to a position where tariffs were reintroduced on products like motorcars then hundreds of thousands of German works would risk losing their jobs.

Why don’t we be grown up, pragmatic, sensible, realistic and let’s cut between us a sensible tariff-free deal and thereafter recognise that the United Kingdom will be your friend, that we will trade with you, cooperate with you, we will be your best friends in the world. Do that, do it sensibly, and allow us to go off and pursue our global ambitions and future.

ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK REVIEW

Whether it’s wise-cracking junkie Nicky, jubilant Taystee, conniving Red or perpetual Emmy winner Suzanne, Orange is the New Black’s greatest strength has always been its excellent characters. Fans enjoy spending time with them so much that it doesn’t really matter how good or bad a season is – just sitting around in these women’s bunks is entertainment enough.

The final two episodes of the fourth season were nearly impossible to get through without weeping after the accidental death of Poussey, who was always trying to broker peace and lighten the lives of those around her – and who died protecting Suzanne.

There were other horrific moments, like CO Bayley shuffling through the halls after realising he murdered Poussey, knowing that his life was essentially over as well. Then there was the look on Piper’s face when the race-baiting she incited to keep her illegal panty business afloat led her to be branded with a swastika. And Lolly being hauled off to the psych ward for a crime she (kind of) didn’t commit? Awful.

Similarly, the cliffhanger ending in which Daya points a gun at one of the guards was thrilling – but just how did she reach that point? We barely saw her all season and then, after losing her mum and spending two scenes in the beauty parlor with Maria and her Dominican gang, she’s ready to take an officer’s life?

Granted, the guard Alex killed at the start of the season was a recent hire, but did no one notice that he never clocked out? There was documentation that he worked at the prison, which Caputo inspected after his corpse was found.

The worst, though, was Doggett’s about-turn on her rapist, Coates. I understand her arc of forgiveness, and the scene with Boo in which she explains her decision to let go of her anger was one of the best of the season. However, it didn’t seem like she forgave him. I could understand how, in prison, she might have developed some sort of Stockholm syndrome, falling back in love with the one man who pays her attention, but that doesn’t tally with her Biblical justification for forgiveness.

At its best, Orange is the New Black is a finely constructed and deeply rendered show about how we’re all ground under the boot of the greater forces of society. Just look at the slow-simmering rage between the inmates and guards that led to a justified riot in the finale. That was handled perfectly.

It can be indulgent and unrealistic, à la the Judy King storyline. It was a waste of time on a woman who was clearly an amalgamation of Martha Stewart and Paula Deen, without offering any insight other than a few chuckles about a drug-fuelled threesome.

The decisions over who got airtime seemed off-kilter this season, too: we saw barely any of Boo, Norma, Daya or Chang (who disappeared entirely after the first episode). Both Maria and Blanca stepping to the fore was great, but sadly each new body either replaces an old one or pushes it further down a hole.

With an almost literal cast of thousands, four of the 13 episodes didn’t feature flashbacks about any of the characters. After using this technique for virtually every episode of the series, it’s as if the writers got lazy and decided to forego the format that they devised and that viewers are expecting.

Yes, it all comes back to the characters, because that has always been the show’s strong suit. Of course it is enjoyable, often transcendent, television – and this season has been more political than ever before and wonderfully critical of the for-profit prison system in the US – but the unevenness is what keeps this great show from being criminally excellent.

CULTURE - TRAVELLING

FOR one month of the year in the Camargue region of France, algae conspire to turn the salt flats pink. In the September issue of Vogue, it was this natural phenomenen that formed the backdrop for the Tidal Shiftshoot in which photographer Colin Dodgson captured the season's new tailoring.
