Brexit (2019 TV Movie)

Paul Ryan: Nigel Farage

Quotes 

• Nigel Farage : Everything you've been briefing on so far, and not one mention of immigration.

  Dominic Cummings : That's on purpose. We don't want to bring...

  Nigel Farage : Oh, don't come over all bleeding bloody hearts, it's bollocks! You know, you turn up for five minutes and you think you know the lot. Well, *I* have been fighting for this my whole life - and I know what lands.

  Dominic Cummings : People already know what they think about immigration. The people we're trying to win over, the people we need to win, extend beyond UKIP.

  Nigel Farage : Oh - so you don't want to make the bien pensants sitting around your London dinner table uncomfortable? We don't need 'em! We need normal people!

  Dominic Cummings : We need 50% of the entire country plus one. Second fundamental of running a successful campaign, build a broad coalition of voters, and for that

  [stares over at Banks] 

  Dominic Cummings : you need to be respectable. No offense.

  Arron Banks : *Excuse* me?

• Dominic Cummings : Let me tell you who we're up against. Who are setting themselves up over the river to destroy us.

  Dominic Cummings : Lucy Thomas, ex-producer of BBC's Newsnight program, so she'll know how to handle the press. Director of the campaign, Will Straw, son of Jack. Failed his MP race in 2015, typical establishment thinker: "If it didn't work the first time, try it again". You got Ryan Coetzee, director of strategy, he's Nick Clegg's former special advisor.

  Nigel Farage : Labour and Lib-Dem hate each other post-coalition. That won't work!

  Dominic Cummings : Oh, yeah, no, it's a proper left and center-left love-in. You've got the Greens and the Welsh, but none as interesting as these. The one true enemy they both share...

  Matthew Elliott : Tories.

  Dominic Cummings : The Number Ten machine, headed up by, trumpets please

  [blows raspberry] 

  Dominic Cummings : Craig Oliver!

  Nigel Farage : Cameron's communication director.

  Dominic Cummings : A position held as we know by a long succession of bastards - Campbell, Coulsen. This one's more out of the limelight, ostensibly in control and composed. He's furiously loyal to his boss and I can tell you that we, uh, well we have a little history.

  [cut back to Vote Remain offices] 

  Craig Oliver : Dominic Cummings is basically mental. We had to all but ban him from Number Ten. He's desperate to be seen as this visionary architect of a new world order, but actually, he's just an egotist with a wrecking ball. It does however mean that he's, well, he's unpredictable.

  [cut back to Vote Leave offices] 

  Dominic Cummings : I know how to beat Oliver. Conventional wisdom is a disease that the British are peculiarly susceptible to, and he certainly hasn't been inoculated.
