		</div><p>Nigel Farage has described the UK’s departure from the EU as “the achievement of my lifetime” in the wake of the final Withdrawal Agreement vote.</p>
<p>Following his fiery departure speech – which saw him having his microphone cut off and being told to leave “and take your flags with you” by the deputy speaker Mairead McGuinness – Mr Farage said he found it hard to believe Brexit was happening.</p>
<p>He told the PA news agency:<em> “The book is about to close and we are going to leave in 48 hours and that is for me, in a way, the achievement of my lifetime political goal.</em></p>
<p><em>“I’ve been campaigning for this for 27 years, 20 of them in this parliament, and sometimes as a human being if you want something so badly it’s almost difficult to believe it’s really happening.</em></p>
<p><em>“But it is happening and I think it’s the right thing and I also think – I’m seeing the first signs of it today – it’s going to lead to a lot of reflection across the union.”</em></p>
<p>He said EU citizens would start to question whether governance structures set up in the 1950s still work in the 21st century.</p>
<p><em>“When 11pm UK time comes on Friday, we’ve passed the point of no return,”</em> Mr Farage said.</p>
<p><em>“I think we’re never coming back so I think a debate will go on now with other countries about what their relationship with the EU is going to be.”</em></p>
<p>He added: <em>“And who knows? Maybe we’re going to be the really good Europeans because maybe we’ll lead to a Europe where we have sovereign states cooperating and I’ve always wanted to do that as a European.</em></p>
<p><em>“I think Europe needs a structure of some kind, I think European countries need to cooperate with each other.</em></p>
<p><em>“We literally are like neighbours living in the same street and what happens in the next-door house necessarily affects us – but it’s a question of whether you deal with those problems through cooperation or through assimilation of power at the centre.”</em></p>
<p>Mr Farage left the EU Parliament for the final time shortly after 8pm today, accompanied by loudspeakers blasting “We Gotta Get Out Of This Place” by the Animals.</p>
<p>He said he was bullish on the prospect of the UK getting a trade deal but remarked “What price freedom?” when asked by a reporter if he would take responsibility if it doesn’t.</p>
<p>The British Brexit Party leader said Brexit was the most significant political event in Britain’s history since Henry VIII broke with the Church of Rome.</p>
<p><em>“There’s a lot more work to do but I think we’ve broken the back of it,”</em> he said.</p>
<p>Mr Farage said he would be in Parliament Square in London on Friday night for the moment the UK officially leaves the EU.</p>
